Close to 1,100 Alabamians made donations during the one-day fund raising event and several local corporate donors assisted in fundraising efforts. “In times of need the people of Alabama unite around each other and we truly want to thank our audience and corporate partners for their generosity ” said Susana Schuler, WVTM’s general manager.
WVTM, Hearst’s NBC affiliate in Birmingham, Ala., raised $169,000 in a one-day telethon to help tornado victims in the state.
The station teamed up with the Alabama Broadcasters Association and the Central Alabama Chapter of the American Red Cross for the state-wide initiative Together in Alabama.
“Central Alabamians are a generous group and as our fellow Alabamians mourn, heal, rebuild and recover, we know these funds will help those impacted by the tornadoes over the weekend,” said Susana Schuler, WVTM’s general manager.
