Nexstar Media Foundation Announces Honorees for Day Four of “30 Days of Giving” Initiative
Ribbon of Hope Foundation and The Honor Foundation Named as Recipients of $5,000 Grants
Irving, TX (June 4, 2026) – Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation is making a $5,000 contribution to both the Ribbon of Hope Foundation and The Honor Foundation as part of the company’s “30 Days of Giving” initiative, a month-long program recognizing and supporting nonprofit and charitable organizations serving communities across Nexstar’s nationwide footprint.
“30 Days of Giving” is an employee‑driven initiative created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nexstar’s founding in June 1996. Locally-led committees reviewed submissions from Nexstar’s 13,000 employees and selected charitable and nonprofit organizations to nominate for grants. More than 100 organizations were nominated, and the Nexstar Charitable Foundation’s Board of Directors chose 60 to receive $5,000 each. Every day during the month of June, the Foundation will award two $5,000 grants; by the end of the month the Foundation will have committed $300,000 to “30 Days of Giving.”
The Foundation today recognized the Ribbon of Hope Foundation and The Honor Foundation as recipients of $5,000 grants. Employees at WFRV-TV, the Nexstar television station serving Green Bay, WI, and WKRN-TV in Nashville, TN, nominated the organizations.
Ribbon of Hope Foundation, established in 2003 by a small group of breast cancer survivors, is dedicated to serving as a financial, informational, and emotional resource for individuals living with breast cancer in Northeastern Wisconsin.
Through generous community support, including third‑party fundraising events, and individual and corporate contributions, Ribbon of Hope has granted more than $4.7 million in support to more than 6,800 individuals living or receiving treatment in Brown or Kewaunee County. Depending on the nature of the patient’s diagnosis and financial need, grant recipients typically use the funds to cover medical bills, medications, living expenses, wigs, gas/transportation and prostheses/bras.
“Ribbon of Hope is a 100% volunteer run organization that has helped thousands of individuals battling breast cancer right here in Northeast Wisconsin,” said Judson Beck, Vice President and General Manager of WFRV-TV in Green Bay, WI. “Local 5 is thankful and grateful to present this grant to Ribbon of Hope, thanks to Nexstar’s ‘30 days of Giving’!”
Julie Higgins, WFRV’s Sales Manager, who nominated Ribbon of Hope for the “30 Days of Giving” grant commented: “I chose Ribbon of Hope because of the great things they do, impacting many families that I know. They conduct fundraisers and maximize every penny donated. 97 cents of every dollar raised supports people in need. Thank you to all the volunteers at Ribbon of Hope and thank you Nexstar.”

The Honor Foundation (THF) is a 3-month, executive education program that provides the tools and experiences necessary to help members of the U.S. Special Operations Forces transition from a 25 to 30-year career in a high-stress, specialized environment to civilian life as the next generation of corporate and community leaders.
The program helps veterans navigate the anxiety of leaving the military, with a focus on keeping local talent within the community. Every step is dedicated to preparing the participating men and women to continue to realize their maximum potential during and after their service career. The program has more than 3,300 graduates to date, is funded entirely by private donations, and operates at no cost to THF Fellows.
The Honor Foundation has one of its in-person campuses at Fort Campbell, a major U.S. Army installation straddling the Kentucky-Tennessee border between Hopkinsville, KY and Clarksville, TN.
“WKRN News 2 chose The Honor Foundation as its recipient of the ‘30 Days of Giving,’” said Mike Spruill, Vice President and General Manager of WKRN-TV in Nashville, TN. “The Honor Foundation provides career transition programs for U.S. Special Forces and their elite training and skillset in the civilian and private sector after service. Fort Campbell is home to the 5th Special Forces Group and the 101st Airborne Division where our military population exceeds over 30,000 brave men and women.”
WKRN News 2’s Research & Programming Director, Michelle Dube, commented: “This year marks our nation’s 250th celebration—a milestone best commemorated by honoring the brave men and women who sacrificed so much to secure our freedom. In recognition of their service, WKRN is proud to support The Honor Foundation and the vital work they do to serve those who have given so much.”
