We Prefer Our #LoveUp
• The Johnjay and Rich #LoveUp Foundation just presented the American Red Cross with an oversized (and totally valid) cardboard novelty check for $50,000 to benefit Hurricane relief efforts. Last week, the Premiere-syndicated Johnjay & Rich Show invited listeners nationally to “love up” and purchase #LoveUp T-shirts, with all proceeds to benefit victims of the recent hurricanes pounding the United States. In just eight days, thousands of shirts were sold. The #LoveUp Foundation also contributed additional funds to achieve the $50,000 total donation.
“We couldn’t do this without the giving hearts and loyal followers of the #LoveUp movement,” said Rich Berra, co-host of The Johnjay & Rich Show. “We know there are so many families who are displaced as a result of the hurricane devastation.” Co-host Johnjay Van Es said, “Our hope is that this donation will at least help make a dent in the recovery process.”

• Established in 2015, the #LoveUp Foundation has touched the lives of hundreds of Arizona kids in foster care and is funded through private and corporate donations, and by the sale of the popular #LoveUp t-shirts.
