Today Is BFOA Giving Day
• The Broadcasters Foundation of America has designated today, June 24, as its 4th annual BFOA Giving Day. This vitally important campaign raises much-needed funds to support the Foundation’s sole mission of providing financial assistance to broadcast radio and television professionals who find themselves in acute need due to critical illness or disaster. The campaign also strives to raise awareness of the Broadcasters Foundation’s charitable purpose to ensure that anyone in radio and television who might qualify for aid can apply.
“Please do not stand on the sidelines,” said Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation. “If you’re part of the broadcasting community, while we hope you never need us, we need to be here for you should disaster or illness strike. The need for aid continues to grow each year, and I ask every broadcaster to consider a personal or corporate donation.”
“Every dollar raised during BFOA’s Giving Day goes directly to grants that help our colleagues who are struggling,” stated Scott Herman, Chair of the Broadcasters Foundation. “Whether an emergency grant due to a disaster or a monthly grant due to a long-term debilitating illness, the Broadcasters Foundation must always be there to give a hand-up to our colleagues in need.”
