With Giving Tuesday set for December 2, the Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA) is calling on the radio and television industry to support colleagues facing life-altering hardship. The charity provides financial assistance to broadcast professionals whose lives have been disrupted by debilitating illness, severe injury, or natural disaster.

"Requests for aid continue to come in every week, and we have to keep up with the demand," said BFOA President Tim McCarthy. "We cannot turn our backs on our colleagues who have worked at their local station and are now in desperate need of our help. We ask everyone in radio and television to come together to help our colleagues."

BFOA Chairman Scott Herman added that Giving Tuesday offers a timely opportunity to make a meaningful difference. "With the support and generosity of everyone in our industry, we can continue our charitable mission," he said.
