Cobbs Creek Foundation Welcomes Comcast as a Founding Partner
Partnership will expand access to technology education, create new opportunities for Philadelphia youth and families, and support the revitalization of the historic Cobbs Creek campus
PHILADELPHIA (October 20, 2026) – The Cobbs Creek Foundation (“Cobbs Creek”) today announced Comcast as a Founding Partner, marking a significant investment in Philadelphia youth and families while supporting the transformation of the historic 350-acre property into a vibrant public destination for education, recreation, and community engagement. The partnership will bring new technology and educational resources to the campus, including an artificial intelligence curriculum developed with TGR Foundation to help prepare young people for future careers.
As the exclusive Founding Partner in technology and innovation, Comcast will help advance the Foundation's vision for a world-class public golf and education campus that serves Philadelphia residents and the surrounding community.
"We are thrilled to welcome Comcast as a Founding Partner of the Cobbs Creek Foundation. Not only is their commitment an investment in the project, but it is also an investment in the young people, families, and communities who will experience this campus for generations to come,” said Chris Maguire, Chairman of the Board, Cobbs Creek Foundation. “As a company deeply rooted in Philadelphia, Comcast shares our belief in the power of access, education and innovation to create opportunity. We are grateful for their generosity which will help bring our vision for Cobbs Creek to life.”
“Cobbs Creek is a terrific example of what can happen when people come together with the ambition to do something special for our great city. This project will restore an important part of Philadelphia’s history, bring people together through sports, and create opportunities for young people to learn and explore new technologies. We’re proud to be part of this effort and help to make it happen,” said Brian Roberts, Chairman, Comcast Corporation.
A central focus of the partnership is expanding educational opportunities through the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab, which has served more than 12,000 students through free, hands-on educational programs since opening in 2025. Comcast and TGR Foundation will develop a new curriculum focused on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, designed to build students’ AI literacy through hands-on experiences with emerging technologies, strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and help students understand how AI can be used responsibly as a tool for learning, creativity and future careers. The program will pilot in Philadelphia this fall before expanding to TGR Learning Labs nationwide in 2027.
Comcast's commitment also includes a recently opened co-working and lounge space at the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab equipped with laptops and soundproof pods, giving parents and caregivers a comfortable place to work, connect, and access programming while their children participate in classes.
“We are grateful to Comcast for investing in the young people we serve through our TGR Learning Labs, giving them opportunities to explore artificial intelligence with confidence and discover where it can take them,” said Hrag Hamalian, CEO of TGR Foundation. “What begins this fall in Philadelphia will soon reach students at TGR Learning Labs across the country, helping ensure young people are prepared not only to use the technologies shaping their future, but to help shape that future themselves.”
In addition, Comcast will support the restoration of the Cobbs Creek Golf Course and the establishment of the Cobbs Creek Heritage Center, a new public museum that will celebrate the landmark's rich history through digital and interactive experiences. Comcast will also provide in-kind PSA inventory to raise local awareness of the Cobbs Creek Foundation’s work.
Comcast Business will serve as a campus technology provider, installing fiber-based connectivity, managed WiFi, and video solutions across the Learning Lab, Heritage Center, Lincoln Financial Center, and course facilities to give visitors reliable, secure network access throughout the campus. The Heritage Center’s interactive exhibits will run on Comcast Business Advanced Solutions, which will power connectivity across the museum.
The partnership builds on significant progress in revitalizing Cobbs Creek as a destination for Philadelphia residents and visitors. In 2026, the campus welcomed a new nine-hole par-3 short course and the Lincoln Financial Center, featuring a driving range, restaurant, pro shop, and event space. Restoration of the historic 18-hole championship Olde Course is underway, with an opening planned for 2027, followed by the redesigned Karakung Course, and new nine-hole Hanse Design course in 2028.
Together, these investments are helping restore Cobbs Creek as a place where championship golf, education, and history come together to benefit generations of Philadelphians.
