Sinclair is encouraging viewers and employees to volunteer to support veterans in their communities or donate to help Disabled American Veterans (DAV) which offers free support services to more than a million veterans across the U.S. each year.
DAV is a nonprofit charity that helps veterans of all generations access benefits and health care they’ve earned, while connecting them with meaningful employment — all at no cost to veterans or their families.
DAV also operates the most prolific veteran volunteer program in the country, providing critical programs, such as its Transportation Network, which arranges rides for veterans to and from medical appointments.
Sinclair will be supporting the initiative through public service campaigns across all the company’s assets, including 185 owned and/or operated television stations, Bally Sports and Marquee regional sports networks, Tennis Channel, streaming platforms NewsON and STIRR, as well as multicast networks Comet, Charge! and TBD.
In addition, The National Desk and Sinclair’s local newsrooms will be producing content in partnership with DAV to air within the newscasts, spotlighting ways the public can honor and support veterans in their communities.
