Robin said, “It’s a privilege to be able to share these stories and help get aid to charities right now in Southern California, and today we announced more than $6 million in donations. We know our viewers are going to continue to help in the coming days.”
Michael added, “The coverage doesn’t stop today. We’re going to continue across ABC news programs well into the weekend and together, our ‘GMA’ family is ‘SoCal Strong’ for all the families in need right now.”
According to a press release, ABC’s relief effort will focus on “driving recovery, rebuilding, and resilience and highlighting ways that viewers can support local organizations helping SoCal families rebuild their lives.”
