White Christmas Shows to Honor Veterans in Chanhassen
Over 12 nights throughout November and December, Comcast in partnership with local veteran organizations, including Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans, Every Third Saturday, and the Chanhassen VFW, will be honoring veterans in Chanhassen as part of White Christmas The Musical performances at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres.
During each show, a local veteran and three guests will be treated to dinner along with special recognition. The first special show night will be Nov. 19 and run through Dec. 27.
“We’re proud to partner with local organizations meeting the needs of veterans, service members, and military families in Chanhassen and across the region,” said Karly Baraga Werner, vice president, External Affairs, Comcast Midwest Region. “We’re humbled at the opportunity to honor these veterans and their families on 12 special nights this holiday season.”

Special gift arrives for veteran organization in Minneapolis
Comcast recently donated $10,000 to install new automatic door openers at Every Third Saturday (ETS), a veteran-based organization in Minneapolis.
The new doors significantly enhance accessibility for the many veterans ETS serves that rely on wheelchairs and scooters. It was also critical for enabling more veterans to access the ETS Lift Zone for digital skills training that helps them maximize their benefits.
A truly special gift that arrived just in time for the holiday season!
