Comcast Partners with Scranton Tomorrow for Community Day of Service  

October 6, 2006 – Nearly 40 local Comcast employees and their family members will volunteer to clean up along the Lackawanna River as part of Scranton Tomorrow’s Lackawanna River Corridor clean-up project. This effort is part of Comcast’s sixth annual company-wide day of service, and will take place on Saturday, October 7, 2006 beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Comcast Cares Day is one of the largest single-day corporate volunteer efforts in the United States. “Comcast knows the importance of improving the quality of life in communities where our customers and employees live and work,” said Comcast Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brian L. Roberts. “We’ve seen that even a single volunteer can make a measurable difference in the life of an individual and a community, and we felt there was an opportunity to have an enormous impact by mobilizing thousands of people across the country.  We’re extremely proud of our employees who have generously given of their time and talents today and throughout the year to make their home towns better places to live.”

This year’s Comcast Cares Day volunteers in Scranton will join approximately 30,000 other Comcast employees, their families and friends in 32 states and the District of Columbia to help make a difference in their communities. 

“We are extremely proud to be working with the employees of Comcast on this wonderful effort,” said Leslie Collins, Scranton Tomorrow Executive Director. “Their commitment to the community reflects the values of Scranton Tomorrow, and we welcome them as a part of our Riverfront project.”
