The school can use the $5,000 from Comcast for anything, while the NFL’s $5,000 Play60 afterschool sports program.
About 600 Comcast employees, City Year volunteers and other community members helped spruce up Woodrow Wilson, a public school in the Castor section of the Northeast. They painted mural sand picked up trash around the school area. Comcast chose Woodrow Wilson because of its partnership with City Year, said spokeswoman Dennille Shuler.
