Listeners of 'The Glenn Beck Program' Come Together to Raise Money for Hurricane Victims

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to the generous and empowered listeners of the nationally syndicated "Glenn Beck Program," Mr. Beck will open his radio show this morning by announcing the launch of a charity auction to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina via the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. It will begin at 9 a.m. EDT today and close on Sept. 20 at 3 p.m. EDT. Bidders may go to www.GlennBeck.com where they will be linked to www.CharityFolks.com the organization that will be conducting the auction, collecting the monies raised, and acting as the intermediary between the donors and the American Red Cross.

"After the hurricane, I heard from so many of my listeners who wanted to help," said Mr. Beck. "Upon reading their emails and talking to many of them, the idea to do a charity auction naturally evolved."

All of the items up for auction have been donated by listeners and businesses who wanted to tap into the hearts of Mr. Beck's loyal and motivated audience of more than three million. More than 50 items are being auctioned, including concert tickets to U2, The Rolling Stones, and Coldplay; hotel accommodations for the Kentucky Derby and the 2006 Super Bowl; tickets to the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers; James Gandolfini autographed Sopranos Season 5 DVD box sets; a Nordic Hot Tub; a new set of Callaway Big Bertha Golf Irons; and 2 first-class accommodations to Philadelphia to watch the "Glenn Beck Program" and have lunch with the host and his radio crew.

Based in Philadelphia, Glenn Beck can be heard on 180 stations nationwide. Listeners are drawn to this modern-day storyteller who is armed with a quick wit, an informed opinion, and a unique ability to inspire others to experience their full potential with an open heart.
