Comcast Partners With Four Vermont Nonprofits on Annual Day of Community Service

Local Volunteers Join Over 50,000 Nationwide On Annual Comcast Cares Day

BURLINGTON, Vt., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 300 local Comcast employees and their family members and friends turned out in force today to volunteer at four Vermont nonprofit organizations from Winooski to Rutland as part of Comcast Cares Day, the company's annual day of community service and one of the nation's largest single-day corporate volunteer efforts.

Projects included sprucing up the Bennington Little League's ball fields, building community gardens and cleaning up parks in Winooski, painting the clubhouse at the Brattleboro Boys & Girls Club and painting and making improvements to the Rutland Community Cupboard.

"Comcast Cares Day is the cornerstone celebration of a 365-day a year commitment to the communities where our customers and our employees live and work," said Dan Blakeman, Vice President of Comcast in Vermont. "There is nothing more rewarding than giving back, and I'm grateful to the Comcast volunteers who have donated their time to help their neighbors throughout Vermont."

This year's Comcast Cares Day attracted more than 4,700 Comcast employees and their families to 50 different sites across New England, including the four Vermont locations. New England volunteers joined more than 50,000 Comcast employees at nearly 500 community sites in 37 states and the District of Columbia, donating 300,000 volunteer hours of service and helping Comcast reach the milestone of one million total hours of service donated in seven Comcast Cares Days.

Beth Baldwin Page, Executive Director of the Boys & Girl Club of Brattleboro remarked, "We're so honored to be included in the Comcast Cares Day tradition. It's vitally important that our facility remain properly maintained. The projects completed by Comcast volunteers will help us accomplish this goal, and they are efforts that would have taken our own staff months to complete. In addition, our patrons will enjoy the new, vibrant paint colors when they return to the club on Monday. To say that we appreciate the efforts of Comcast volunteers is an understatement!"

The Comcast Foundation will donate more than $1.5 million in grants to local community partner organizations across the country on behalf of the employees and family members who volunteered on Comcast Cares Day. The grants will help Comcast's community partners continue their mission of serving the community throughout the year.
