With the help of the state government and the Nebraska Red Cross, the Nebraska Broadcast Association will have Nebraska Strong Drive for Flood Relief on Friday. All member television and radio stations across the state will participate in urging people to donate to the fund drive.
“Obviously the devastation is beyond description in many ways,” stated President of Nebraska Broadcast Association Jim Timm. “It’s clear that funding is going to be needed to help people, businesses and everyone involved with the recovery.” Nebraska governor Pete Ricketts intends on declaring a ‘Nebraska Strong Day’ on Friday to help support the relief campaign. There are two ways to donate. On Friday, you can call the call center in Omaha at 1-844-278-8555 from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m., or you can call your local radio or TV station. You can also go to the Red Cross’ website, Redcross.org/donate, there is a disaster relief button you can click on and you can donate. “We are urging people to call and make a donation to help people get back on their feet as this tragedy continues to unfold,” Timm commented. “To kick start this drive, the Nebraska Broadcasters have donated $20,000 to the American Red Cross chapter in Omaha to help encourage people to get behind us and raise money.” |
