During the natural
between innings breaks, FOX Sports Ohio and the Reds featured many
of the wonderful programs the Community Fund supports. Throughout the telecast, fans were encouraged to
support the Community Fund by making a donation at reds.com/community or by calling (513) 765-7300.
Together, FOX Sports Ohio and the Reds helped raise over $15,000 for the Community Fund.
“Thank you all for your efforts leading up to the telethon and for pulling off an amazing production. Beyond the fundraising (which should eclipse $15,000 and is still climbing) and the fabulous new production elements, we enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with you on such an exciting venture. Everyone throughout the Fox family was helpful, professional and positive and made for a memorable experience for us. We’ve received a tremendous amount of positive feedback. It’s great to know that all of your hard work is already resulting in more opportunities for the kids that we aspire to serve. Thanks again for all of the time, talent and hustle that you invested in this process.”
