Community Impact Through Rod Ryan Show Cares Foundation
Beyond entertainment, the Rod Ryan Show has a strong commitment to serving the Houston community through its Rod Ryan Show Cares Foundation, a non-profit organization established to support various causes since the show first aired in 2004. The foundation has made a significant impact, notably raising funds for disaster relief efforts following major events like the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami in 2005 and Hurricane Katrina in the same year, with over $504,000 collected for relief efforts through a continuous 54-hour live broadcast.
The foundation also played a crucial role during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 by launching the Houston Strong Campaign aimed at providing local support to those affected by the disaster. Over the years, the show has partnered with numerous organizations to contribute to various initiatives, raising an impressive total of over $3 million for different charitable causes.
Long-standing Partnerships and Current Campaigns
For the past 15 years, the Rod Ryan Show has partnered with Houston Children’s Charity, successfully raising over $1,000,000 to provide school backpacks for children in need. Currently, the foundation is running a campaign for the HCC Back2School Backpack Program, aiming to gather support for school supplies for the upcoming academic year.
In a recent show of support, Jim Adler, known as the Texas Hammer, pledged $5,000 towards the purchase of school supplies through the Rod Ryan Show Cares Foundation. Adler has also initiated a social media challenge, promising to donate $10 for each photo featuring a hammer posted online with the hashtag #TheTexasHammer, with a goal of collecting 500 such photos.
