The City of Rainier has received a grant of nearly $960 in recognition of its partnership with Comcast in the 18th Annual Comcast Cares Day. That event, which focused on the cleanup and beautification of Rainier Park, took place in May.

Comcast employees and local volunteers cleaned bathrooms and picnic shelters, refreshed landscaping, volleyball courts, and picked up garbage at the waterfront park.

“Comcast is a part of our community and we greatly appreciate their part in making Rainier a wonderful place that we proudly call ‘home’,” said Mayor Jerry Cole.

The Rainier event was one of more than 1500 such events sponsored by Comcast in two dozen countries on Comcast Cares Day in 2019. The event is again scheduled for May of 2020.
