iHeartMedia’s The Bobby Bones Show will donate $85,000 to the American Red Cross flood relief effort in Louisiana.
Last week, Bobby Bones announced that all proceeds from #PimpinJoy merchandise on his website, including limited-edition baseball T-shirts, would be collected for the American Red Cross to help those affected by the flood in Louisiana. Listeners raised $85,000 in just a few days.
“I always think of our listeners as a tight knit group of friends,” said Bones. “The immensity of their support this past week has only served to prove that point, as friends rally around friends in a time of need and that’s what our listeners have done. I couldn’t be more thankful and humbled by the amount raised.”
This is the latest effort by The Bobby Bones Show and its audience to raise funds for a worthy cause. Earlier this year, $35,000 was raised from the sale of #PimpinJoy apparel to benefit the Orlando shooting victims and their families.
In addition, $20,000 was raised in July from the sale of “America Strong” T-shirts to purchase an all-terrain tracked wheel chair for former U.S. Marine Sgt. Kirstie Ennis, who lost her leg serving as a helicopter door gunner in the military.
