Comcast Florida’s VP of Government & Regulatory Affairs Michelle Oyola McGovern kicked off the event. During her remarks, Oyola McGovern highlighted Comcast’s commitment to supporting the communities it serves including Kendall.

“We value our customers’ business as much as their time, so we are very proud that Xfinity now has added presence in this neighborhood,” said Oyola McGovern. “What truly makes this store special isn’t just the services we provide; it’s the opportunity to connect with our customers on a personal level. Our knowledgeable team is here to help you explore, understand, and customize the solutions that work best for you and your family… and in your language.”

Oyola McGovern surprised those in attendance by announcing a $10,000 donation to the WOW Center – one of Comcast’s longtime partners in this community. The WOW Center enables and supports multidisciplinary programs that empower individuals with disabilities to make personal choices that foster growth and independence.

Executive Director Arlene Peterson and Board Vice Chair Alejandro M. Jerez received Comcast’s contribution on behalf of the WOW center. They highlighted the importance of partnerships, stressing they are the cornerstone of building a more inclusive and supportive community. Jerez said he understands the impact a financial investment can make. Jerez said he sees firsthand how the WOW Center supports people living with disabilities, such as his own sibling.

“We are incredibly grateful to Comcast for their generous support and commitment to our mission at the WOW Center,” said Peterson. “This $10,000 contribution will directly impact the programs and services that empower individuals with developmental disabilities to reach their fullest potential.”

Comcast’s donation comes in handy. The WOW center is poised to open a new and bigger center next month. The center will be able to serve even more Miami-Dade County residents with disabilities of all ages.
