The National Association of Broadcasters announced the 50 finalists for the 25th Annual Crystal Radio Awards. Since 1987, the NAB Crystal Radio Awards have recognized radio stations for their outstanding year-round commitment to community service. Winners will be announced and the finalists will be honored at the NAB Radio Luncheon April 17th in las Vegas.
In recognition of the Crystals' Silver Anniversary, NAB and Operation Interdependence will be working with the 50 finalists to send care packages to military units abroad. More than two million U.S. troops serving abroad have received care packages through Operation Interdependence since its inception in 2001.
Crystal finalists are invited to write letters to the troops and to help pack boxes during the NAB Show at the Operation Interdependence booth on Monday, April 16th between 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. "Operation Interdependence is honored to work together with the Crystals Award finalists in service to America's military at NAB Show this April," said Karon Carley, president of Operation Interdependence. "We commend these stations for their service to communities and appreciate their assistance in supporting the men and women who bravely serve our nation. We look forward to sending many care packages to our troops overseas this spring."
