SF Radio: KSFO Raises $136K For Fisher House Foundation

Cumulus Media announces that the KSFO 560 AM Morning Show with Brian Sussman, Katie Green and Sheri Yee raised $136,000 for Fisher House Foundation, benefiting veterans, military and their families.

The KSFO Morning Show broadcast live from the Palo Alto Fisher House Friday morning from 5:00-9:00 a.m., and featured interviews with soldiers and their families who have used Fisher House’s services. Listeners donated online at www.KSFO.com/fisherhouse and by phone during the live broadcast and throughout the Memorial Day weekend.

KSFO supported the fundraiser through on-air recorded and live promotional announcements, listings on KSFO.com and a message from Brian Sussman on the KSFO newsletter. This is the fifth consecutive year for KSFO’s Memorial Day weekend fundraising effort. KSFO has raised over $600,000 for Fisher House Foundation over the past five years.

Brian Sussman, host of the KSFO Morning Show said: “Once again the KSFO audience has revealed its profound patriotism! This kind of generous giving is representative of the American spirit.”
Ken Fisher, Chairman of Fisher House Foundation said: "We are truly grateful to KSFO and KSFO listeners for their generous contributions to help Service Members, Veterans and their families in their time of need. This year's campaign raised $136,000 over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. When added to the totals from the last four years, KSFO and your amazing radio audience has raised over $600,000 for Fisher House Foundation. Our heartfelt thanks, on behalf of those we serve!"

Fisher House Foundation is best known for the network of comfort homes built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers nationwide and in Europe. Fisher Houses are beautiful homes, donated to the military and Department of Veterans Affairs. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time – during the hospitalization for a combat injury, illness or disease.
