Hundreds of local volunteers to beautify Marysville Pilchuck on April 25
Marysville, WA – On Saturday, April 25th, hundreds of volunteers from throughout the community will
spend their day beautifying the Marysville Pilchuck High School campus. Joining employees from
Comcast’s Lynnwood and Everett Call Centers, volunteers will be providing a facelift to the campus
through a wide variety of indoor and outdoor projects, including painting, landscaping and general
cleaning.
“We continue to be overwhelmed by the support from our community, and we are so appreciative of
the local Comcast employees who selected Marysville Pilchuck for their day of service project. We’re
especially excited that this is an opportunity for the entire community to join in and inject some love
into the campus, ensuring it a great place for students to learn,” said Dr. Becky Berg, Superintendent of
the Marysville School District.
“We’re proud to make Marysville Pilchuk High School the center piece of our volunteer efforts for the
14th Comcast Cares Day. Comcast employees, family members and friends are eager to show in a
tangible way how much we respect that school and what it stands for and to improve the learning
environment in any way we can for students, faculty and staff,” said Steve Kipp, Vice President of
External Affairs for Comcast in Washington.
In addition to the volunteer accomplishments on Comcast Cares Day, the Comcast Foundation will
provide a grant in recognition of the Comcast employees and many volunteers who gave their time. The
grant will allow the school district to continue to invest in our students.
