“In its more than 70 years of existence, The Broadcasters Foundation has provided financial assistance to every broadcaster who qualified, and we want to continue that track record,” says Scott Herman, Broadcasters Foundation of America’s chairman.
The Broadcasters Foundation of America is in need of donations to counter the loss of funds from major fundraising events that were cancelled due to the pandemic.
A 501(c)3 charity, the Broadcasters Foundation is the only organization dedicated exclusively to providing financial aid to broadcasters and their families whose lives have been upended by debilitating illness, accident, or catastrophe.
Cancelled fundraisers for the Broadcasters Foundation include the Celebrity Golf Tournament, the Golden Mike Award, and the Philip J. Lombardo Charity Golf Tournament. Personal and corporate donations can be made by visiting www.broadcastersfoundation.org/donate.
“In its more than 70 years of existence, The Broadcasters Foundation has provided financial assistance to every broadcaster who qualified, and we want to continue that track record,” says Scott Herman, Broadcasters Foundation of America’s chairman.
“These men and women are our colleagues, and unthinkable tragedy has left them unable to work. We cannot turn our backs on them.”
Over the past 20 years, the Broadcasters Foundation has distributed over $13 million to broadcasters in need.
“We’re asking everyone who is able to make a donation to please do so now,” added Jim Thompson, President of the Broadcasters Foundation of America.
