Katz Media Group has raised over $45,500 for the Broadcasters Foundation of America during its 10th annual companywide membership drive, bringing the total amount raised to over $350,000 since the drive’s inception. All money raised during the annual two-week campaign goes toward the Stu Olds Memorial Fund that commemorates Katz’s former CEO and supports the Foundation’s mission to provide financial support to radio and television professionals in acute need.
“It’s an honor to continue Stu’s legacy and give back to our incredible industry. As a board member, I have seen firsthand all the good the Foundation does. I’m incredibly proud and appreciative of the continued generosity of the Katz team to support the Foundation, and give to colleagues in need,” said Mark Gray, Chief Executive Officer for Katz Media Group.
“We are grateful to Mark, Leo, Christine and the entire team at Katz for their continued support of our charitable cause,” noted Jim Thompson, President of the Broadcasters Foundation of America. “Every day, our only purpose at the Foundation is to provide aid to those in our industry who need it most, whether it be monthly assistance from life-altering circumstances or a one-time emergency grants to help victims of natural disasters. With the help from our friends and colleagues at Katz, we can help more broadcasters in need across the country.”
