Max Media in Virginia Beach is organizing a virtual event to honor local healthcare workers, first responders and public service workers. On Good Friday, April 10 at 5pm ET, all six Max Media stations will join with local community leaders for "Virtual Hugs for Heroes." The event is designed to support and thank the people who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic while respecting the governors' stay-at-home order.

"We at Max Media are amazed and appreciative of the incredibly dedicated and selfless actions of our healthcare, first responders and public service communities! Putting themselves in harm's way for all of us everyday during this pandemic, is why we wanted to recognize them in a special broadcast this Friday," commented Max Media Hampton Roads VP/GM Keith Barton.

The "Virtual Hugs for Heroes" program will feature messages from local mayors, a prayer of healing and hope from Pastor Heath Krueger of Spring Branch Community Church, special music and a huge thanks to our local healthcare workers who are sacrificing so much to help our family, friends and neighbors through this unprecedented time. "Virtual Hugs for Heroes" gives Hampton Roads a chance to safely show our gratitude for these altruistic, hardworking individuals.

"Virtual Hugs for Heroes" will be available on-air on the following stations: 97.3 The Eagle, 92.9 The WAVE, HOT 100, ESPN Radio 94.1, Solid Gold 97.3 WGH-FM-HD2 and 1310 The Power. The program can also be heard on each station's website and free app.
