Entercom Radio Stations team up with Bank of America and the American Red Cross to aid Hurricane Katrina victims -- All Portland/SW Washington Bank of America Banking Centers to be “Donation Stations” for direct relief to victims of Hurricane Katrina

PORTLAND, Ore. – August 30, 2005 – Entercom Portland (0700 SW Bancroft Street, Portland, Oregon 97239) has teamed with Bank of America and the American Red Cross chapters serving Oregon and Southwest Washington to raise needed funds to aid in the recovery of the southern United States as a result of the destruction left behind by Hurricane Katrina.

All Portland and Vancouver area Bank of America Banking Centers are now accepting donations that will go directly to the relief effort underway. When making a donation, people are asked to reference the “American Red Cross Disaster Fund.”

“In times of disaster, the generosity of our community always shines through,” said Rich Brown, Bank of America SVP and market development manager. “We are pleased to join with Entercom and the American Red Cross in making it as easy as possible for Oregon and Southwest Washington residents to contribute to the Katrina relief efforts.”

“Entercom and our listeners have always come together in times in need. We recognized that we could make an immediate difference,” said Erin Hubert, VP/GM of Entercom Portland. “The devastation is unimaginable. We're happy that Bank of America has stepped up to assist the American Red Cross in its time of need, giving people an easier opportunity to donate now. It's a matter of survival and healing for many people, and this is the time for us to act.”
