Together with Philadelphia-based tech education nonprofit Hopeworks, Comcast has developed an interactive map of RISE recipients in your community. Let's continue to celebrate and uplift Black-owned businesses. You know what to do, family. Find your local Comcast RISE awardees and start shopping and patronizing their businesses. You never know; you may find someone right around the corner! Support them today!
