The 26th Annual Broadcasters Foundation of America Celebrity Golf Tournament drew a record turnout of radio and television personalities, executives, and renowned athletes to the Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, NY on September 9.
The sold-out tournament, with more than 150 broadcasters, athletes, and celebrities, is one of the Foundation’s key fundraisers to support its mission to provide financial assistance to broadcasters facing severe financial hardship due to critical illness or other life-altering circumstances.
Support for the Broadcasters Foundation comes from the broadcasting community. Over the past 15 years, the Foundation’s grant-making efforts have grown significantly, increasing from providing $400,000 in grants in 2007 to nearly $2,000,000 in 2024.
Broadcasters Foundation President Tim McCarthy told Radio Ink, “This year’s record turn-out raised crucial funds for our sole mission of helping broadcasters who are in acute need. If any broadcaster is in need of help due to life-altering illness that leaves them unable to work or support themselves, we urge them to fill out an online application to see if they qualify. It is with the generosity of the people in radio and television that we continue to provide aid to our colleagues.”
