Roberts, Chairman and CEO, Comcast Corporation. “Since its inception in 2001, nearly 300,000 Comcast employees, their families and friends have contributed their time to their communities. Today, we will eclipse 2 million hours of service. Comcast Cares Day is about coming together to make a positive difference in our communities, and I couldn’t be more proud to serve alongside my fellow employees today as we continue in that mission.”

“We’re so honored to partner with almost 30 Colorado nonprofit organizations to work together to improve our community during our 10^th Comcast Cares Day,” added Rich Jennings, Comcast Regional Vice President. “I’m grateful to the 3,500 volunteers who will be donating their time to help make such a big difference in the lives of others.”

The Comcast Foundation will also provide grants to local community partner organizations across the country on behalf of each employee and family member who volunteers on Comcast Cares Day.
