Broadcasters Foundation Of America Makes Year-End Appeal For Funds, Distributes Over $1 Million In Aid For 2017

Appeal

The BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION OF AMERICA is making its year-end appeal for donations as looks to distribute over $1 million in aid this year to broadcasters in acute need across the country, the most ever distributed in a single year by the foundation.  Among the grants were over $200,000 to broadcasters impacted by the hurricanes and wildfires.  Personal donations are being sought for the foundations' Guardian Fund and corporate contributions for its Angel Initiative.

“What’s even more striking is that there are still broadcasters across our industry who need our help,” said Chairman DAN MASON. “It is incumbent on everyone in our industry to help ensure that the BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION can continue to provide this much-needed financial assistance to our colleagues.”

“Requests for aid have multiplied over the past several years, and we have been able to help every qualifying broadcaster who sought assistance from us,” added President JIM THOMPSON. “As we enter the season of giving, I ask every broadcaster to review any good fortune that our business has bestowed upon them and consider donating to help our colleagues in need.”

For more information or to donate, call (212) 373-8250, email info@thebfoa.org, or go to www.broadcastersfoundation.org.
