What was her name and just how friendly were you?
Every year, Rush dedicates a 3 hour show to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This is the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. The LLS mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Rush regularly raises an average of $2 million and he donates matching funds that double the total raised. Over the past 25 years, Rush and his audience have collectively raised nearly $44 million dollars for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, helping provide much-needed research and support for individuals and families affected by blood cancer diseases.
Rush also conducts an annual drive to help the Marine Corps–Law Enforcement Foundation collect contributions to provide scholarships for children of Marines and law enforcement officers and agents who have died in the line of duty. The foundation was the beneficiary of a record $2.1 million eBay auction in October 2007 after Limbaugh listed for sale a letter critical of him signed by 41 Democratic senators and pledged to match the selling price. With the founding of his and his wife's company Two if by Tea, they pledged to donate at least $100,000 to the MC–LEF beginning in June 2011.
Following the Kaepernick kaper rejecting Nike's Betsy Ross shoes that forced the company to recall the shoes, Rush and his wife Kathryn organized a project called "Stand up for Betsy Ross". They bought high quality Made in America T-shirts, had them printed with a Betsy Ross f**g and "Stand up for Betsy Ross". The profits from all sales of these shirts are donated to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
This foundation builds Smart Homes for our most catastrophically injured service members returning home. Each home is custom designed to address the unique needs of each individual. Energy efficient, automated and easily accessible—these homes use "adaptive technology" to help our most severely injured heroes live better, more independent lives. In addition, this foundation pays off mortgages for families of fallen soldiers.
In July, Rush and Kathryn sold a record number of shirts totaling $3 million, all of which went to the foundation. Kathryn is managing this project and she is having a hell of time keeping shirts in stock. Sales are going through the roof.
