Virginia Beach, Va. – Local radio stations owned by Max Media will hold an online auction to benefit funds set up for shooting victims Officer Brian Jones and Mark Rodriguez.
97.3 The Eagle, Hot 100.5, 92.9 The Wave, ESPN 94.1 and Star 1310am, will donate items for the auction.
When Norfolk Police Officer Jones was shot and killed in the line of duty on May 30th and Mark Rodriguez, student of Norfolk Christian, lost his life that same evening, the Max Media family was moved to take action and assist.
“We at Max Media are very blessed to be able to do something we love everyday. We live and work in this extraordinary community and if we can use the power of our platforms to help, even a little, it is both our honor and our responsibility to do just that. The families affected have been beset with unimaginable tragedies. Our hearts go out to both the Jones and Rodriguez families” said Dave Paulus Vice President/General Manager of Max Media.
