9/11 Day of Service Partners With CCM+E

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. From Saturday, September 7 through Wednesday, September 11, Clear Channel on-air personalities in New York, Boston, Washington DC, St. Louis, Dallas, and Phoenix will help promote volunteer activities and in many instances will be personally on location to report back to listeners. In NYC, Bethany Watson, co-host of the popular "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" in New York on Z100, which is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, will be onsite at the Fire Academy Randall's Island to assist in refreshing and improving the facility atmosphere.

"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."
