Olympic Spirit in Atlanta: Comcast Provides Laptops to Boost Learning at Boyce L. Ansley School Thursday 15 August, 2024

Comcast and Boyce L. Ansley School teamed up for an unforgettable event that brought the excitement of Team USA and the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 right to our local community! With an Olympic Games watch party, an action-packed field day, and a surprise appearance from Harry the Hawk—everyone’s favorite Atlanta Hawks mascot—it was a day filled with joy and energy.

Kids aged five to eleven had a blast cheering for their favorite athletes during the live stream of the Olympic Games Closing Ceremony on Peacock and Xfinity X1. After getting their Olympic spirit on, they let loose with fun activities like hurdles and relays that captured the essence of the Games.

And Harry the Hawk was there to join in the excitement, making it all the more special!

But the biggest surprise of the day? Each student walked away with a brand new laptop to help boost their education and digital skills! This generous gift from Comcast underscores their dedication to empowering students through digital literacy initiatives that help close the digital divide.

Boyce L. Ansley School is a tuition-free private institution focused on supporting children who have experienced or are experiencing homelessness. Their mission is to break the cycle of generational poverty by offering comprehensive family support and a solid academic program that enables children and families to thrive.

The event also highlighted Comcast’s cutting-edge Olympics viewing experience through Peacock and Xfinity X1, giving everyone a chance to dive into the excitement of the Games. Local media and elected officials were on hand to witness the fun and explore these innovative platforms.

This laptop giveaway is part of Comcast’s Project UP, a remarkable $1 billion initiative aimed at promoting digital equity and economic mobility in Atlanta and across the nation.

As an official partner of Team USA through 2028, Comcast is gearing up for an exciting future, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 just around the corner. This event truly showcased Comcast’s commitment to community engagement, digital equity, and an innovative viewing experience through Peacock and Xfinity X1.
