850 Radio Stations Participate in the Second Annual “Operation Fisher House”

 

Washington, D.C. (Nov. 4, 2011) – Fisher House Foundation, which constructs comfortable homes to provide free, temporary housing to the families of service members receiving medical care at VA and military hospitals around the world, announced today that it will receive continued media support from long-standing partner Clear Channel Radio this Veterans Day.  

 

Clear Channel, the leading media company in America with a greater reach than any radio or television outlet, will launch the second annual Operation Fisher House, a powerful week-long national media campaign designed to raise awareness and funding for Fisher House and the military members they serve.

 

Beginning on Monday, Nov. 5, and running through Nov. 11, 2011, all 850 Clear Channel stations will promote the second annual Operation Fisher House and encourage listeners to tune in to the main fundraising event on Veterans Day.  Clear Channel will encourage donations via online or text message to the Fisher House Foundation through live discussions, on-air mentions, interviews and a series of public service announcements.

 

“Clear Channel’s remarkable reach and continued support is an amazing force for our military families,” said Ken Fisher, Chairman of Fisher House Foundation.  “Fisher House and Clear Channel’s powerful message will continue to help veterans and their families across the United States.”  

 

Over the last two years Clear Channel has raised nearly $1 million for Fisher House and has collectively donated media valued at more than $5 million.

 

“Clear Channel is committed to addressing issues that engage and impact our listeners across the United States,” said Jessica King, Clear Channel’s Director of Community Engagement.  “A recent study shows that more Americans are involved with supporting troops than any other social issue today, and it is important for Clear Channel to support organizations that our listeners care about – like Fisher House.”
