Sinclair Broadcast Group today announced the company has launched Sinclair Cares: Ukraine Relief, a fundraising partnership with Global Red Cross to help with their humanitarian relief efforts on the ground in Ukraine and neighboring countries.

Sinclair will provide a corporate match of up to $50,000 for the first $50,000 raised through www.SinclairCares.com.

“Our viewers and employees embody a spirit of compassion, caring and giving, and we are proud to partner with the American Red Cross and the global Red Cross network to assist in the humanitarian relief efforts to provide emergency aid, food and medical supplies in Ukraine,” said Rob Weisbord, Chief Operations Officer and President of Broadcast.
