The Bobby Bones Show Raises $85,000 to Benefit American Red Cross Louisiana Flood Relief Effort
LOS ANGELES, August 23, 2016 – iHeartMedia’s The Bobby Bones Show will donate $85,000 to the American Red Cross flood relief effort in Louisiana, thanks to the generosity of the program’s loyal audience. Last week, the award-winning Country morning radio show announced that all proceeds from #PimpinJoy merchandise on www.BobbyBones.com, including limited-edition baseball T-shirts, would be collected for the American Red Cross to help those affected by the devastating flood, which the organization has called the worst U.S. natural disaster since Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Listeners and fans of The Bobby Bones Show jumped into action, raising $85,000 in just a few days.
“I always think of our listeners as a tight knit group of friends,” said Bobby Bones. “The immensity of their support this past week has only served to prove that point, as friends rally around friends in a time of need and that’s what our listeners have done. I couldn’t be more thankful and humbled by the amount raised.”
This is the latest effort by The Bobby Bones Show and its audience to raise funds for a worthy cause. Earlier this year, $35,000 was raised from the sale of #PimpinJoy apparel to benefit the Orlando shooting victims and their families. In addition, $20,000 was raised in July from the sale of “America Strong” T-shirts to purchase an all-terrain tracked wheel chair for former U.S. Marine Sgt. Kirstie Ennis, who lost her leg serving as a helicopter door gunner in the military. For more information, please visit www.BobbyBones.com.
