COMCAST, BOYS & GIRLS CLUB AND LEADERSHIP PRINCE WILLIAM LEAD LARGEST VOLUNTEER PROJECT IN THE REGION
Manassas – April 21, 2014 – On Saturday, April 26, more than 30 local businesses will join Comcast employees and their families
and friends to “make change happen” as they volunteer to improve Northern Virginia Family Service’s SERVE Food Pantry, Manassas Boys & Girls Club, Winter Branch Trails and Jennie Dean Park in the City of Manassas, V.A. as part of Comcast’s 13th Annual Comcast Cares Day.
Comcast Cares Day, which takes place each April during National Volunteer Month, is Comcast and NBCUniversal’s signature day of service and the nation’s largest single-day corporate volunteer effort. Projects range from painting curbs, street beatification, recycling debris and update fitness trails to name a few.
This year the Company expects more than 80,000 Comcast and NBCUniversal volunteers to participate in over 700 projects across the country and around the globe. To date, more than half a million volunteers have contributed over 3 million volunteer hours since Comcast Cares Day started in 2001.
This year’s collaboration is being led by Comcast, Boys & Girls Club, Leadership Prince William and the City of Manassas to improve the community during the 13th Comcast Cares Day. Event organizers are still looking for volunteers and groups to join us this Saturday between 9am – 12pm. Free vendor opportunities, event t-shirts and lunch will be provided .

DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
