More than 50 of Gray’s television stations aired the telethon, which featured virtual performances by country stars and singer-songwriters. The donations from viewers, performers, and Gray Television and its stations far exceeded the initial goal and will help provide more than four million meals to local residents in need.
During his live appearance on [[WCSC-TV|WCSC]] (CBS) in Charleston, South Carolina, singer [[Darius Rucker]] announced a personal $50,000 donation to Lowcountry Food Bank and offered to match up to an additional $50,000. The telethon began with a combined donation of more than $100,000 by [[Gray Television]] and its participating stations.
Customized local messages in each station’s broadcast will drive donations directly to the local station’s area food bank. Gray Television and its participating stations are collectively donating more than $100,000 for hunger relief and local COVID-19 response efforts.
“Gray is thoroughly committed to supporting the communities we serve through this unprecedented challenge,” said Bob Smith, Gray’s Chief Operating Officer. “We’re proud to present this stellar line-up of musical talent while encouraging viewers to do what they can to help relieve hunger in their hometowns.”
