A message from our President:

April President’s Message by Bryan Karrick

One of the best feelings is when you know you’ve made a difference, and volunteering is a great way to do so. I’ve volunteered throughout my career and find it not only fulfilling but also therapeutic. It allows me to step away from the daily grind and into something that makes me smile.

My friend and fellow broadcaster, Henry Rothenberg, came up with an amazing volunteer effort through the Ryan Seacrest Foundation and Seacrest Studios at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville.
