MyGoodDeed, the respected 9/11 nonprofit which annually
organizes the federally-recognized 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance
(http://911day.org), has again named longtime supporter Clear Channel Media and
Entertainment the official national entertainment partner of 9/11 Day.
Over the last three years, Clear Channel has committed over
$10 million in airtime support, the single largest media contribution by any 9/11 Day
partner.
From September 1 through September 11, Clear Channel's 840
radio stations will air a series of on-air public service messages in support
of 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance. Listeners who want to participate can
choose options including volunteering, donating to charities of their choice,
or simply making a voluntary pledge to dedicate time on 9/11, or another day,
to performing good deeds that help others in need.
This 9/11, an estimated 35 million people are expected to
observe the day through service of some nature.
Some of this year's projects will address needed upgrades
and servicing at sites including the FDNY
Fire Academy ,
the St. Louis Fire Department Headquarters and Training Facility, and the Texas Fire
Museum
"Clear Channel was an inaugural partner of 9/11 Day in 2010
because we strongly believed in giving the public a platform to publicly or
privately honor those lost in the attacks on September 11, 2001," said
Jessica King, Director of Community Engagement for Clear Channel.
"We believe our participation is more important each
passing year to ensure that 9/11 Day remains the world's largest annual day of
charitable service and giving in the U.S.
