Today, Comcast announced NASCAR driver Daniel Dye as the 2025 Comcast Community Champion of the Year, becoming the 11th champion to receive the prestigious annual award. Comcast will award $60,000 to Dye for Race to Stop Suicide, which was established in 2018 to break the stigma around mental health and suicide.
"I'm super proud that this mission is getting talked about more - it means a lot to me, to my family, and to our communities," said 2025 Comcast Community Champion of the Year Daniel Dye. "Being named the Comcast Community Champion is a big deal, and the fact that we're able to raise more awareness is really what it's all about. This isn't a race you can ever truly win, but we're doing everything we can to run up front and be leaders in this mission."
At just 14 years old, Dye turned unimaginable loss into action after losing his cousin by suicide. From that moment, his mission was clear: use his platform to spark life-saving conversations and help end the silence around mental health. That mission became Race to Stop Suicide, a now-national nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness, providing resources, and bringing hope to individuals and families in times of need.
Through community outreach, school visits, church events, and speaking engagements across the country, Daniel has opened the door for difficult but necessary conversations. With the support of his father, Randy Dye, and a growing team of advocates, he has built a movement that's saving lives and breaking down stigma at every turn.
As his racing career has taken off, so has the reach of his message. Dye's advocacy is front and center on his No. 10 Chevrolet with Kaulig Racing, which featured custom Race to Stop Suicide paint schemes during both Mental Health Awareness Month in May and Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in September. From World Wide Technology Raceway to Mexico City's Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, his message has traveled internationally, turning every lap into a platform for hope.
"Daniel represents exactly what the Comcast Community Champion of the Year was created to honor," said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships and Amplification at Comcast. "He's not just raising awareness; he's driving a movement that's changing lives."
"
Through honesty, compassion, and a deep commitment to mental health advocacy, Daniel has built something far bigger than himself. He's using his platform to give others a voice, and that kind of leadership is both rare and deeply inspiring. We are proud to name Daniel Dye as the 2025 Comcast Community Champion of the Year.
