The SVG Sports Broadcasting Fund is the sports industry’s first charity fund dedicated to providing assistance to industry professionals and their families in need.<\/p>\n
Since being established in 2012 the Fund has assisted hundreds of sports production professionals who have found themselves unable to work due to injury, illness, or disaster. The Fund offers financial assistance by directly paying bills on their behalf, offering some peace of mind during stressful life events so they can focus on healing or rebuilding the lives of themselves and their families.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sports-television industry is a family of talent, creatives, techs, and crew who depend on each other in the studio and the field and now, with the SVG Sports Broadcasting Fund, at home,\u201d says Ken Aagaard, SVG Sports Broadcasting Fund chairman. \u201cIn a business underpinned by a freelance workforce, it is especially important that we develop a process for helping out our peers and their families when they are struck by serious misfortune.\u201d<\/p>\n
The SVG Sports Broadcasting Fund is a not-for-profit, section 501(c)(3) corporation.<\/p>\n
