Graham Media Group and Gray Media Unite for Texas Flood Relief

Graham Media Group and Gray Media Collaborate for Flood Relief
In a heartfelt response to the recent catastrophic floods that severely impacted communities in Texas, Graham Media Group and Gray Media have launched a crucial donation drive aimed at supporting relief and recovery efforts. The floods had devastating effects, displacing families and demolishing homes, leaving many people in desperate need of assistance.
The Fundraising Initiative Begins
Within just the first 24 hours of the campaign, an impressive total of over $120,000 was raised, thanks in part to a remarkable $25,000 contribution from Gray Media itself. This generous start marks an essential foundation for the broader fundraising effort aimed at addressing the immediate needs of those affected by this natural disaster. Furthermore, Graham Media Group has committed an additional $15,000 to bolster the campaign.
Resources Being Mobilized
The joint effort leverages the resources of Graham Media Group’s local stations, including KSAT in San Antonio and KPRC in Houston, along with Gray's extensive reach in 113 television markets throughout the country. The proceeds from this initiative will be directed entirely to provide vital resources such as food, housing, and financial aid to the impacted individuals and families.
“Our partnership with Gray Media reflects our deep commitment to support the Salvation Army's emergency disaster response efforts in Texas,” shared Catherine Badalamente, CEO of Graham Media Group. “As broadcasters, we have an obligation not only to report the news but also to ensure our communities receive the assistance they urgently need during times of crisis. We are proud to contribute to such important and life-saving initiatives.”
Local Community Support
Co-CEO of Gray, Pat LaPlatney, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing their dedication to serve affected communities for as long as necessary. He expressed gratitude for the community's responses, highlighting the importance of viewer support in times like these.
Immediate Actions Taken
The Salvation Army's Emergency Disaster Services teams are currently engaged on the ground, delivering meals, hydration, and emotional support to those in distress. However, as the situation unfolds, they recognize that even more help is needed. Every donation made will play a critical role in aiding local relief and long-term recovery efforts.
