Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) has pledged $40,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County (BGCFC) as of September 24. The donation will help fund after-school programs that focus on technology skills and digital learning for students.
“At Comcast, we believe every student deserves access to tools and opportunities that will help them thrive in a digital world,” said Zenia Zaveri, Vice President of External Affairs for Comcast California. “This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to the communities we serve across the Central Valley. We’re proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County and the incredible work they do to empower local youth.”
For more than 76 years, the BGCFC has provided a safe and supportive environment for young people to learn and grow at its 14 locations throughout Fresno County. The organization’s mission is to help youth reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
Jason Hannold, President and CEO of BGCFC, emphasized the impact of Comcast’s support: “We are deeply thankful to Comcast for their generous support.
