As Florida’s technology leader, Comcast’s presence in the Sunshine State spans from Key West through the Panhandle. The company’s commitment to the communities it serves is deep and can be traced back for decades. With the goal of creating unlimited possibilities for all, Comcast continues to connect Floridians to opportunity by investing in nonprofit organizations, trusted partners and new technologies.
Take the Palm Beach County for example. Rachael Bonlarron, Government & Regulatory Affairs Director, helps oversee the company’s outreach efforts in the area. She said Comcast’s investment in Palm Beach County is extremely important for the future of its communities and the customers we serve.
“Palm Beach County’s potential is vast. I am so incredibly proud to be engaged in this region and equally excited to continue exploring the different ways in which we can have a positive impact in the areas we support,” said Bonlarron. “With the help of Comcast and our passionate Team UP volunteers, I am certain that we will bring change and create endless opportunities for those who need it most.”
Bonlarron said consider this when thinking about Comcast’s impact in Palm Beach County. Of over 32,000 statewide employees, more than 620 call Palm Beach County home. Comcast’s state-of-the-art network includes more than 15,000 miles of lines. It powers more than 360,000 Xfinity WiFi hotspots and provides an Internet connection with 99.9% reliability.
Since 2010, Comcast has contributed over $10.5 million in cash and in-kind donations to different non-profits, community events, sponsorships and other initiatives. Additionally, the company has connected more than 220,000 low-income residents since 2011 through its Internet Essentials program.
