KSFO 560 AM RAISES OVER $135,000 FOR THE PALO ALTO FISHER HOUSE
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – KSFO 560 AM is very proud to announce that through the generous donations from KSFO listeners, over $135,000 was raised for the Palo Alto Fisher House!
KSFO, a proud supporter of the United States Military, has partnered with the Fisher House Foundation to raise awareness and funds for the brave men and women and their families who have been affected during the continuous fight for our freedom both past and present. On Friday, May 25th, a LIVE broadcast of The KSFO Morning Show from the Fisher House located in Palo Alto, CA, featured stories and interviews from staff, supporters and residents. The fundraiser continued over Memorial Day Weekend, with donations still being counted.
“This gift of over $135,000 illustrates the abundant generosity of our KSFO radio family,” said Morning Show host, Brian Sussman. “The Fisher House provides our troops and their families with genuine American hospitality, and it's an honor to be associated with their vital endeavor..”
Fisher House provides no-cost housing and the comforts of home for family members while their loved ones rehab and recover from various injuries and ailments. The almost $300,000 raised by KSFO the past two years will be used towards the construction of a second Fisher House in Palo Alto so even more military families can benefit from their unique services.
