Comcast NBCUniversal, which is Universal Orlando Resort’s parent company, along with the Universal Orlando Foundation announced it will donate $2 million to support relief and recovery efforts following Hurricane Ian.
The donation will include $1 million in cash, together with in-kind contributions to the Florida Disaster Fund, with the remainder distributed among the Comcast NBCUniversal Employee Assistance Fund, United Way, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Team Rubicon and the American Red Cross.
Locally here in Orlando, Universal Orlando is also donating food to impacted communities through partnerships with local organizations.
