Philadelphia-based Comcast NBCUniversal
has a warm, fuzzy side. Among their many
philanthropies is Clear the Shelters Day,
an annual event that offers low- or no-cost
animal adoptions (which normally run
as high as $400). Since 2015 the program has
helped more than 250,000 pets find homes.
“We’ve adopted just about any animal you
can think of—lizards, birds, chicken, a
donkey,” says Valari Staab, president of the
NBCUniversal-owned television stations. “Our
anchors and reporters have ended up falling in
love with a pet and taking it home.”COMCAST NBCUNIVERSAL (# 43 )
