Entercom Commits $1 Mil For Local Support
• As the country continues its battle against COVID-19, which has severely decimated many local businesses, Entercom announced it will be making a $1 million commitment to local restaurants, arts, and charitable organizations in the cities and towns where its employees live and work. A staff email from Chairman, President & CEO David Field, read, in part, “This will be an employee-led initiative, designed for employees to support local businesses in their communities. Entercom will disperse the $1 million in the form of gift certificates to all full-time employees, redeemable at various establishments selected by the Company’s market managers and corporate leaders.”
Field (left) added, “These are unprecedented times. A year ago, no one could have predicted this extraordinary pandemic and how it has impacted our nation, our communities and our families. While our company has been significantly affected by the pandemic, we recognize that many others in our community are enduring far worse. Our hearts go out to those who have been hit the hardest. Even with the bright light of vaccines and recovery just around the corner, millions continue to struggle. Entercom would like to help support our fellow businesses and community organizations during these challenging times.”
In closing, Field said, “Each of you is such an important part of the vibrancy of life in our local communities. One of our leaders will be reaching out shortly to provide further information and arrange to purchase gift cards or tickets. We will be passing those along to members of our team who will be using them to further support your restaurants or organizations in the months ahead. We look forward to better times ahead and wish you all the best for a prosperous 2021.”
