As the nation marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, Comcast NBCUniversal is honoring those lost, recognizing those who served, and inspiring a new generation of volunteers through employee service, strategic partnerships, and the reach of its media platforms.  

In partnership with the nonprofit 9/11 Day, which founded and annually leads the federally recognized September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, Comcast NBCUniversal will mobilize employees, partners, and audiences nationwide through volunteer events, public service announcements (PSAs), and content spotlighting acts of service in communities across the country.  

Through its support of America Gives, a nationwide volunteer initiative led by America250 in partnership with 9/11 Day, the company is helping Americans honor both the September 11 anniversary and the nation’s 250th anniversary through acts of service that strengthen communities. 

As a national sponsor, Comcast NBCUniversal will engage more than 400 employee volunteers from Comcast, NBC, and Universal Destinations & Experiences in 17 cities nationwide to pack more than 140,000 meals for local Feeding America member food banks. 

Comcast is also donating national airtime for 9/11 Day’s “UNIITE For Good” campaign, running a 30-second PSA across its platforms through September 13, to encourage Americans to pledge acts of service in their communities. 

Together, 9/11 Day and its partners aim to mobilize more than 50,000 volunteers from 800 companies in 50 cities to pack more than 18 million meals for hunger-relief organizations nationwide. 

A Companywide Commitment to Service 

“Twenty-five years after September 11, the values that brought our country together in the aftermath of that day — compassion, service, and care for one another — remain as important as ever. Service is central to who we are at Comcast NBCUniversal, and we are proud to join 9/11 Day in turning remembrance into meaningful action for communities across the country.” 

– Dalila Wilson-Scott, Executive Vice President and Chief Impact & Inclusion Officer

From Employee Service to National Storytelling 

NBCUniversal will help televise the spirit of service to millions of Americans. Working with the National Football League (NFL), a founding member of 9/11 Day’s 25th Anniversary National Commemoration Committee, volunteers from Comcast NBCUniversal and NBC Sports will come together on September 11 for flagship service events nationwide, including aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. NBC Sports will capture moments from the Intrepid event and other volunteer efforts and share those stories during Sunday Night Football’s Giants vs. Cowboys broadcast on September 13, encouraging viewers to get involved in their own communities. 

Additional service projects with NFL clubs — including the New York Giants and New York Jets at MetLife Stadium, the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High, and the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium — will extend the day of service to communities across the country. 

"We're pleased to partner with 9/11 Day, whose work has helped make September 11 one of the nation's largest days of service. By mobilizing employees and sharing stories of service across our platforms, we hope to honor the memories of those we lost and inspire Americans to find meaningful ways to give back in their own communities." 

– Hilary Smith, Executive Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility, NBCUniversal

Comcast NBCUniversal employees will volunteer in cities and venues nationwide, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando, Portland, Seattle, Washington, D.C., the Intrepid Museum in New York, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, and the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center. 

About 9/11 Day
