Fresno, California, Sept. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comcast announced a $40,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County on Sept. 24. The funding will support a variety of after-school programs focused on technology and digital opportunities.
“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 over 76 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County (BGCFC) has provided a safe place for youth to learn and grow in their 14 locations in the county. Their mission is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Jason Hannold, President and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County, said the donation will have a meaningful impact. “We are deeply thankful to Comcast for their generous support,” said Hannold. “This funding will allow us to provide after-school programs that encourage students to build digital skills that will shape their futures. With this investment, we’re opening doors for youth in our communities to explore technology and build confidence, and that can be truly life changing.”
Comcast’s commitment to communities goes beyond investing in the network and aims to increase economic mobility for the local community and its residents. That’s why Comcast created Internet Essentials, a broadband adoption program that offers eligible households low-cost, high-speed Internet and affordable computers. Additionally, over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $130.5 million in cash and in-kind donations into California nonprofits focused on helping people build digital skills, expanding WiFi-connected Lift Zones and funding connectivity and Internet adoption programs.
