Broadcasters Foundation Of America Launches Year-End Giving Campaign

Year-End Drive

The BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION OF AMERICA has launched its annual year-end giving campaign, asking broadcasters to help the organization assist others in need.  The FOUNDATION says that it will award more than $1.3 million in aid in 2018, breaking last year's record of $1 million; almost $300,000 of this year's disbursements are due to the hurricanes and wildfires that devastated several areas.

“Our lives can change in the blink of an eye,” said Chairman DAN MASON. “In its 70-plus years of existence, the BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION has provided financial aid to every broadcaster who qualified. It is only through the generosity of the people in our industry that the BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION can continue to deliver this much-needed assistance to those in our profession who need it most.”

“Our grant recipients are -- or were -- hard-working broadcasters who experienced unthinkable tragedy and desperately need and deserve our support,” added President JIM THOMPSON. “As we enter the season of giving, I ask every broadcaster to review the good fortune that our business has bestowed upon them and consider giving back with a donation to the BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION.”
