Celebration of the 2022 Champion for Children

The Celebration of the 2022 Children First “Champion for Children

honoring

Dalila Wilson-Scott, EVP and Chief Diversity Officer at Comcast Corporation and President, Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation

On the evening of Tuesday, May 10, 2022, we will shine a spotlight on the visionary commitment of Comcast NBCUniversal, best exemplified by the company’s response to the pandemic. When COVID-19 shuttered our schools in Philadelphia, Comcast NBCUniversal immediately offered two months of free service to families in need through Internet Essentials, its low-cost internet program for low-income families. They also partnered with the City to install free WiFi- inside Parks & Rec locations and other community centers as part of its Lift Zone program. The effort enabled students to get online and participate in distance learning while their parents went to work. Comcast NBCUniversal also provided a $1.5 million grant to the Fund for the School District of the City of Philadelphia to use as needed to help students through the crisis. Comcast NBCUniversal’s leadership was critical to the launch of PHLConnectED, a unique, public-private partnership that provides free internet access to Philadelphia students in need. In the first year, PHLConnectED enabled more than 18,700 internet connections for our students. Through Internet Essentials and Project UP, a $1 billion commitment to advancing digital equity, Comcast NBCUniversal is helping to build a future of unlimited possibilities for our children

We know that there are many worthy causes and amazing regional leaders to honor, but we urge you to join us in honoring Comcast NBCUniversal and supporting our ongoing work to put Children First by becoming a sponsor or purchasing a ticket to this important event.  In doing so you’ll be among a growing list of corporations, organizations and individuals that are actively improving the future for children.
