More Than 67,000 Volunteers Spring into Action as Comcast and NBCUniversal Celebrate Their Commitment to Communities on 11th Comcast Cares Day

(3BL Media) Philadelphia, PA - April 18, 2012 - More than 67,000 Comcast and NBCUniversal volunteers across the country will spend Saturday, April 21, 2012, giving back to their communities as they take part in Comcast Cares Day, one of the nation's largest days of corporate volunteerism. In its 11th year, Comcast Cares Day will also mark over 2.5 million hours volunteered and more than $11 million contributed to organizations on this day of service since it first began in 2001.

"For more than a decade, our employees, their families and their friends have made Comcast Cares Day one of the nation's most impactful corporate volunteering events in our nation," said Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and CEO, Comcast Corporation. "We are proud of the cities and neighborhoods where we work and live, and Comcast Cares Day provides a terrific opportunity to celebrate those communities by coming together and giving back to them."

During this year's Comcast Cares Day, approximately 650 projects will take place in 39 states and Washington, D.C. That includes some big projects planned in communities where Comcast and NBCUniversal employees work together, including New York City, Orlando, and Los Angeles.

"Comcast Cares Day is a shining example of the continued investment in our communities by our employees at both Comcast and at NBCUniversal," said David L. Cohen, Executive Vice President, Comcast Corporation. "And we don't stop there. We do our best work in our communities throughout the year. Tackling digital literacy, building tomorrow's leaders and partnering with great community organizations all shape the positive impact we have on the community."

On Saturday, volunteers will contribute their time and energy by providing maintenance, supplies and makeovers to local schools, parks, and community centers.
