Benefits That Last All Year

Comcast Cares Day, a day of service for Comcast employees, their families, and friends is a company-wide initiative to benefit our larger community. Our employees first took part in what was then called Philadelphia Cares Day in 1997, in our corporate headquarters’ hometown. After that, we were hooked. By 2001, we had expanded our volunteer efforts to our first nationwide Comcast Cares Day.

Improving Neighborhoods -- One Incredible Day at a Time

Comcast employees, their families, and friends have contributed more than one million hours of service and supported thousands of community initiatives during Comcast Cares Day. On May 3, 2008, a record 50,000 employees, their families and friends, and partners such as the National Urban League and National Council of La Raza joined together for a remarkable day of service. The volunteers worked with local organizations to benefit project sites in 37 states and the District of Columbia. On that day alone, the volunteers contributed more than 300,000 hours of service.

Measureable Efforts, Real Rewards

We received the cable industry's Golden Beacon Award in 2001, acknowledging Comcast Cares Day for its widespread and positive impact on the communities we serve. That was cool, but the real reward is in continuing our good works. In the coming years, Comcast will continue to reach further and make an even bigger impact in more neighborhoods across America.
