The Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA) will host its annual BFOA Giving Day on June 24. The day is designed to raise funds to support industry professionals who are facing financial hardship due to critical illness or natural disaster.
Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation, said, “Please do not stand on the sidelines. If you’re part of the broadcasting community, while we hope you never need us, we need to be here for you should disaster or illness strike. The need for aid continues to grow each year, and I ask every broadcaster to consider a personal or corporate donation.”
Giving day is also to raise awareness and encourage broadcasters to apply for aid when needed.
Scott Herman, Chair of the Broadcasters Foundation, added, “Whether an emergency grant due to a disaster or a monthly grant due to a long-term debilitating illness, the Broadcasters Foundation must always be there to give a hand-up to our colleagues in need.”
