‘The Bobby Bones Show’ Raises $20,000 For Wounded Marine

Listeners of iHeart Media’s The Bobby Bones Show helped raised $20,000 for a wounded Marine after the radio personality featured her on his show.

Last week, former U.S. Marine Sgt. Kirstie Ennis appeared on the show to explain how she lost her leg serving as a helicopter door gunner in the military. After hearing her story, Bobby Bones and his on-air crew revealed they wanted to do something special to honor her service.

As a result, proceeds from the sale of “America Strong” T-shirts on Bones’ website were donated to help her purchase an all-terrain tracked wheelchair. In less than a week, enough shirts were sold to raise $20,000, surpassing the cost of the wheelchair.
