The Broadcasters Foundation of America has launched its yearly year-end giving campaign.
The organization provides financial aid to broadcast radio and television professionals in need due to illness, accident, or tragedy.
“Life can change in a heartbeat, and exorbitant medical bills can leave one of our colleagues in broadcasting in desperate need of assistance,” stated Broadcasters Foundation Chairman Scott Herman. “I’m asking everyone in radio and television to consider a donation, in any amount, so that we can continue to provide assistance to those in our industry who need it most.”
“The Broadcasters Foundation is often the last hope for our peers suffering from severe illness or recovering from disaster,” added Broadcasters Foundation President Tim McCarthy. “To date, we have never turned away a broadcaster who qualified for aid. Donations, in any amount, can ensure that the Broadcasters Foundation continues that track record.”
The foundation has given more than $15 million to eligible broadcasters in the past 20 years, including $1.8 million in this year alone.
Donations to the organization are tax deductible due to its 501(C)(3) status. To make a donation or learn more about its endeavors, click here.
