Comcast Business has developed several programs to support the recovery of small businesses adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Together Towards Tomorrow campaign was created by local Comcast Business employees in the Southeast who wanted to do even more for their customers and business partners.
As part of Together Towards Tomorrow, Comcast Business is working with local chambers and other community partners to identify businesses in need. The Knoxville Technology Council helped Comcast identify area businesses who qualified for the program.
“This pandemic created profound challenges for businesses across our country,” said Jason Gumbs, regional SVP at Comcast. “We are proud to support local businesses in Knoxville, and we appreciate our strong partnership with the Knoxville Technology Council to make this happen.”
In 2021, Osmar’s Event Center and Inicios 1.2.3. Language Learning Center in Knoxville each received $5,000 grants from Comcast Business during the first Together Towards Tomorrow round.
