On May 20 and 21, 2025, Comcast proudly sponsored the 5th Annual Free Haircut Giveaway in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana, respectively. This wonderful event, organized by the African American Celebration Corporation, focused on honoring the sacrifices of military members and their families by providing them with complimentary haircuts. All veterans and active service members were invited to attend this heartfelt community initiative.

The event was not just a chance to trim hair, but also to promote awareness of various Comcast initiatives aimed at supporting local residents and businesses. Bossier City Mayor Thomas H. Chandler expressed his excitement about the collaboration with Comcast, stating, "We had a fantastic event with Comcast helping veterans. As we work together to create a digitally forward future, it's great to see Comcast involved in our community."

Comcast’s Regional Senior Vice President, Mike McArdle, reaffirmed the company's commitment to merging connectivity with local involvement. "As we expand our fast, reliable Internet and Mobile services in Bossier City while keeping Shreveport connected, it's exciting to support events that uplift our veterans," he noted.

Throughout the week, community members came together to celebrate and appreciate those who have served in the armed forces. This Free Haircut Giveaway served as a reminder of the solidarity that exists not just among military families, but within the broader community.
