Comcast Honored with Mile High United Way’s 2025 Social Impact Award
We’re proud to share that Comcast has been named a 2025 Mile High United Way Community Champion, receiving this year’s Social Impact Award—the organization’s highest recognition for corporate partners making a meaningful difference in Metro Denver.
Our collaboration with Mile High United Way reflects the heart of our community commitment. Together, we’ve:
- Mobilized employees to volunteer, give, and lead in support of local communities.
- Supported digital skills and workforce development programs.
- Aligned our community work with our mission to connect people—now and in the future—to more of what they need and love.
“Comcast is known for connecting communities, and Mile High United Way is so fortunate to call them a partner. They never back down from an opportunity to stand up and support families in need in Metro Denver and beyond. We couldn’t be more proud to present them with our 2025 Social Impact Award,” said Christine Benero, Mile High United Way president and CEO.
“At Comcast, we believe in the power of connection. Whether through Xfinity, Comcast Business, or our broader community investments, we’re working every day to make the internet accessible to all — helping more people connect to education, health care, jobs, and essential resources,” said J.D. Keller, Regional Senior Vice President, Comcast Mountain West Region, and Mile High United Way Board of Trustees Member. “This recognition from Mile High United Way reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting our local communities and advancing digital opportunity for generations to come.”
Over the past decade, Comcast has helped connect more than 752,000 eligible Coloradans to the internet through our Internet Essentials program. We’ve also partnered with local organizations to launch Lift Zones across Colorado, providing students, families and members of the community with access to free, high-speed WiFi and digital skills training.
Founded in Denver in 1887, Mile High United Way serves families across a seven-county footprint, including the Metro Denver, Boulder and Broomfield communities. The organization’s work centers on three interconnected community priorities: giving all children a strong start, supporting academic success and creating economic opportunity for all.
Comcast is honored to receive this recognition and grateful for the opportunity to continue working alongside Mile High United Way and other local partners to help Colorado communities thrive.
