In a world where the need to bridge the gap between those who need assistance and those who can offer it is ever-increasing, we had the pleasure of attending an inspiring Brunch and Learn event. This was a unique collaborative effort between the United Way of Galveston and Comcast Houston that took place on Friday, June 30, from 10 am to 12 noon at the Wright Cuney Recreation Center in Galveston, Texas.

The event, graced by representatives from Francis Page, Jr., Publisher of Houston Style Magazine, other partner agencies, community partners, and local officials, underlined the spirit of community and collaboration. Galveston’s leaders were brought together by Comcast for an insightful session fostering fruitful interactions. Comcast’s commitment to digital equity aims to connect individuals swiftly, efficiently, and affordably. Houston Style Magazine, aligning with this initiative, is set to extend these efforts’ reach, connecting more people to essential resources.

Toni Beck, VP of External Affairs for Comcast’s Texas Region, shared plans to close the digital divide. The event also served as a platform for Comcast to understand barriers and accelerators to this goal. A unique twist was Misha McClure, Comcast’s Director of External Affairs, announcing donations to all attending nonprofits and new laptops for the Lift Zones, enabling participants without personal devices to engage in digital skills training. Thanks to Comcast for their investment in people and nonprofits - connecting online truly #ChangesEverything.
