HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Brad Byrd and Jessica Costello look back at some of the organizations that have left a handprint on Brad’s heart.

Brad has made many connections through organizations such as the American Heart Association, Easterseals, and the Santa Clothes Club.

Kelly Schneider, the CEO of Easterseals says Brad is “the voice of Easterseals” and is tremendously impacted by the ambassadors he meets every year. She says he had helped raise over $27 million during his years of hosting the Easterseals telethon.

Tony Wolfe, president of Santa Clothes Club, says Brad has helped the organization clothe 2-3 thousand kids a year. He recounts a time seeing Brad’s face beam when they reached $15,000 in individual donations one year.
