National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and
the Armed Forces Relief Trust (AFRtrust)

In the twentieth century, the electronic media of radio and television have established themselves as the nation's unique unifiers—bringing news, entertainment, cultural events, sports, educational and public affairs programming, and a wealth of other information into American homes. Recognizing this unique responsibility, America's local radio and television stations have a long history of being a part of America's security and serving its community in times of need. Today, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is proud to perform its patriotic duty by supporting the Armed Forces Relief Trust (AFRtrust), a new non-profit fund created to collect donations for U.S. troops and their families.

Together, NAB and AFRtrust have produced compelling public service announcements (PSAs) to encourage television viewers and radio listeners to contribute to the AFRtrust. NAB has distributed these PSAs to all radio and television stations nationwide and is working to ensure that the spots are aired frequently. In addition, the AFRtrust public service campaign will be heavily promoted and accessible on the NAB Web site, www.nab.org, as well as on this site.
