Clear Channel Outdoor’s Efforts Help the Patriot Education Fund Reach $500K Milestone
Four Illinois Veteran/Veteran Family Members Receive a 2018 Scholarship, Bringing the Total Awarded to 135 Scholarships Since 2011
November 8, 2018
Chicago, IL – The Patriot Education Fund, the organization that provides college scholarships, and mentoring to Illinois military families, and Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA) (NYSE: CCO), an indirect subsidiary of iHeart Media Inc., today announced the Patriot Education Fund has reached a milestone of awarding $500,000 in scholarships to Illinois veterans and their families. Clear Channel Outdoor has been an active supporter of the Patriot Education Fund by donating digital out of home (DOOH) billboards annually to promote scholarships for military veterans. Four local Illinois residents were named as recipients of the Patriot Education Fund’s Clear Channel Outdoor scholarships for 2018.
The Patriot Education Fund provides financial and educational assistance to enlisted military veterans (E1 to E5) and their dependents. The organization bridges the unintended funding gaps created by the post 9/11 GI Bill, by providing financial support to individuals pursuing bachelor and associate degrees, accredited technical training diplomas and certified apprenticeship programs. With a 100 percent graduation rate since 2011, the Patriot Education Fund has underwritten135 scholarships with over $500,000 reinvested back into Illinois military families across the state.
A corporate partner to the Patriot Education Fund since 2013, Clear Channel Outdoor has donated complimentary digital out of home advertising from 2016-2018 throughout Northeast Illinois to promote scholarships for military veterans. The billboards ran creative on how to apply for a scholarship through the Patriot Education Fund in over 30 communities.
“We’re proud to support the mission of the Patriot Education Fund over the last five years,” said Ed Marcin, Vice President Public Affairs/Special Projects, Clear Channel Outdoor Chicago. “The Patriot Education Fund provides our local Illinois veterans and their families with access to the educational opportunities they need as they transition from service to our country into successful careers. We honor our veterans for their dedicated services and are so proud of our scholars as they continue to thrive as students and new professionals.”
“Thanks to key corporate partners like Clear Channel Outdoor, the Patriot Education Fund has raised over $500,000 to provide education benefits for veterans and their families,” said Dave Dahler, Chairman, Patriot Education Fund. “The Patriot Education Fund and Clear Channel Outdoor partnership has ensured that these American heroes will transition successfully into the private sector.”
“Clear Channel Outdoor has been extremely valuable from our inception by raising awareness of our mission and by making veterans aware of valuable scholarship opportunities,” said Mark Slaby, Founder, Patriot Education Fund. “Clear Channel has had a major factor in building awareness of our program and mission to support military families.”
2018 Patriot Education Fund Clear Channel Outdoor Scholarship Recipients
John Leonard Sims of Evergreen Park, Illinois, served as an Army Ranger and was deployed three times to Afghanistan and oversaw training of new Rangers as well as served as a medic. He is in his third semester of college pursuing a degree in Middle Eastern Affairs at Columbia University in New York and has a college GPA of 3.65. John wants to pursue a career with the FBI after college.
John Leonard Sims says: “While the GI Bill has enabled millions of veterans to obtain a college education, it unfortunately does not always cover the true cost of an education. This was a reality that I was faced with when I began attending Columbia University upon my separation from the United States Army. While many veterans must take out thousands of dollars in student loans, I am extremely fortunate in having received a scholarship from the Patriot Education Fund. The Patriot Education Fund is an incredible organization that is dedicated to helping veterans make their post military aspirations a reality. While many organizations claim this as their mission, the Patriot Education Fund is truly dedicated to it. The Patriot Education Fund provides a level of assistance to individual veterans that truly makes an impact on not only their day to day lives but on their futures as well. Since receiving the scholarship, I have been able to dedicate more of my attention to excelling in the classroom and far less time worrying about how I am going to pay for my education. This is all thanks to the Patriot Education Fund and the wonderful work that they are doing.”
Destiny Williams of Chicago, Illinois, is studying Early Childhood Education at Illinois State University and is a Dean’s List student (top 10%). Both of her parents are veterans, her father was deployed four times, and Destiny would like to become an educator of low-income students and eventually hopes to teach fellow military children.
Destiny Williams says: “I am so appreciative to have received the Patriot Education Scholarship. Ever since I won the scholarship I had more time to focus on my academics. Since I started my senior year this semester I have been struggling to find a job to help my dad pay my rent and pay for personal expenses like toiletries, gas money, and groceries. If it weren’t for the scholarship, trying to figure out how to pay for my tuition would have been an extra burden for my family and me. If I did not have this scholarship I might have come out of college with a lot of student loans. Since the salary in the field of education is not super great, the time it would have taken me to pay off the student loans would have been much longer and harder to complete, thus adding yet another burden for my parents and I to worry about. I am truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to receive this scholarship because I know there were a lot of people that applied for it.”
Josue Contreras of Chicago, Illinois, was an Army Combat Medic who was deployed two times. Josue saved for his education — but when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico – he and his wife used all his savings to help his family members there. Josue is now a Chicago Public School middle school teacher working with students from low income backgrounds. Impacted by the immense gun violence in his hometown of Chicago, Josue changed his course of study from medicine to becoming a teacher because he saw impacting young people as the greatest need. He is working on his Master’s Degree in Dual Language Teacher Leadership at Roosevelt University having previously graduated summa cum laude from Northeastern Illinois University.
Josue says: “My wife saw the billboard advertisement at the Ogilvie train station. To be selected in itself is humbling and a great honor. I am beyond ecstatic that my financial security is squared away because of the Patriot Education Fund. Now I can just focus on working and getting my Master’s degree. You’re donating to a group of Americans who already have proven their worth in gold just simply by raising their right hand and saying that they will defend the Constitution of the United States. You’re investing in people who view America as worth dying for. That mission of serving their country doesn’t die when they get out of uniform. It’s still ingrained in them.”
Leah Staros of Glendale Heights, Illinois, is a 12 year veteran military spouse. Her husband had two deployments to Al Taqqadum, and completed eight years active duty and an additional four years as a reservist. Leah is working to fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse while being a mother and caregiver to a mom who’s in her early stages of dementia. Leah’s requirements outside the classroom make it difficult to fund her pursuit of higher education. The Patriot Education Fund has been “an answer to her prayers.” Her anticipated graduation is May 2019 from the Chamberlain School of Nursing.
Leah says: “I was really unsure how I was going to pay for my final classes as I am out of federal loan funding after this session. I am incredibly grateful for The Patriot Education Fund. The support of PEF has made my education possible. My scholarship is not only an investment in my future but my family’s well-being by lifting our financial burden. I followed my Marine around the world and had to put my education on hold until we settled somewhere long enough to complete my degree. Once we transitioned to the civilian life, financial barriers put my education on hold. PEF erased those barriers. I look forward to graduating with my nursing degree and serving my community!”

Clear Channel Airports Awarded 10-Year Contract with Portland International Jetport (PWM) to Cultivate a Digital Media Destination for Brands
Cutting-Edge Technology Will Help Brands Reach Over 2 Million Passengers Annually with PWM Experiencing Record-Breaking Passenger Traffic in 2018
Portland, Maine — Clear Channel Airports (CCA), a brand division of Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA) (NYSE: CCO), and an indirect subsidiary of iHeartMedia Inc., announced today that it was awarded a 10-year contract with Portland International Jetport (PWM). This win extends a partnership that began with the city in 1995. The new agreement will provide the latest digital out-of-home (OOH) technology to upgrade existing media, grow airport revenue and reach highly sought after business and frequent leisure travelers through new captivating advertising solutions.
PWM is Maine’s largest and busiest airport with 2018 on pace to set an annual passenger traffic record by exceeding 2 million passengers for the first time. Total traffic is up by 11 percent through July 2018. As the largest city in Maine, Portland’s tourism industry plays a key role in economic growth in the region. Downtown Portland, located only five miles from the jetport, is home to the city’s historic seacoast town offering travelers easy access to the waterfront, art galleries, classic cuisine and the city’s eclectic coastal culture. Further, with its daily non-stop connections to every east coast hub, PWM is the primary connection to the world air transportation system for business travelers headquartered in the area.
“As Maine’s largest and fastest growing airport, we take pride in our region and believe PWM must support a sense of place that is uniquely Portland and Maine. We’ll use this new media program as part of our vision for the future, which supports innovative approaches to meeting our customer and business partner needs, said Paul Bradbury, Airport Director. “We’re confident the renewed partnership with Clear Channel Airports will enhance the ability of our advertising partners to reach our growing traveler base through the introduction of immersive new digital media.”
For the first time, PWM’s media program will feature terminal-wide digital advertising offerings, making it more efficient for local, regional and national brands to engage with the airport’s record-setting number of passengers. This establishes a more unified media program and family of assets across PWM’s entire campus, including the recent terminal expansions and upgrades.
The new network will include impactful, interactive LED video walls and a vertical digital LCD network.
These new innovations within PWM underscore a growing trend as airports work to create an overall sense of place for consumers that reflects the local environs. Moreover, as frequent leisure and business travelers increasingly view their departure and arrival gates as a destination unto itself, the new media program leverages coveted dwell time to help brands reach this audience in ways that drive economic growth for the airport.
Further demonstrating the power of airport advertising, a recent Nielsen Study commissioned by CCA, reveals frequent flyers are highly responsive to this place based media, with 80 percent of travelers noticing the ads and 42 percent taking action that includes visiting a website, going to a store or learning more about a product/brand/service. More specifically, airport campaigns are a significant driver of foot traffic, with 84 percent of frequent fliers likely to visit a restaurant, 50 percent likely to visit a clothing/accessories/jewelry store and 41 percent likely to visit a consumer electronics store. The presence of such an engaged and receptive audience makes airports, like PWM, an optimal location for brand advertisements.
“The landscape of airports has evolved significantly from the transactional touch and go of departure and arrivals, to a desirable environment that demands first class innovation,” said Morten Gotterup, President, Clear Channel Airports. “With annual passenger count on the rise, and PWM serving as a gateway to Maine, this is an essential location for advertisers to engage with consumers. And with this new media build out, we’ll curate an environment where brands can thrive even more, and one that consumers will love.”
Representatives from Clear Channel Airports will be onsite at PWM, Sept. 17-21, showcasing the new media solutions and hosting conversations with brands. Advertisers interested in learning more should contact CCA’s Daniel Devine to schedule an appointment.

POLARIS , CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR LAUNCH ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING CAMPAIGN IN SACRAMENTO
Four Week Campaign Will Run Throughout Region to Alert Human Trafficking Victims How to Reach Out for Help
SACRAMENTO, CA – Polaris, a leader in the global fight to eradicate modern slavery, Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA) (NYSE: CCO), an indirect subsidiary of iHeart Media, Inc., together with Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, today launched a four-week anti-human trafficking awareness campaign on CCOA’s digital billboards in English and Spanish throughout the Sacramento region.
This campaign focuses specifically on labor trafficking and alerts victims how to reach for help
through the National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-373-7888). Additionally, the campaign will inform residents of the facts surrounding modern day slavery, including that human trafficking is a major problem in Sacramento, and throughout the United States. The digital billboard ads read, “Has your boss threatened you? We can help.” They’ll be displayed at least 1,250 times per day on CCOA’s digital billboards throughout the region.
In the news conference earlier today at one of CCOA’s 22 digital billboards in the region, Polaris and CCOA leadership were joined by Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Sacramento County Supervisor Phil Serna, Deputy District Attorney Paul Durenberger, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Captain Robert Davis and Rico Ozaki of Opening Doors – a local nonprofit whose mission it is to empower refugees, immigrants and human trafficking survivors.
“Human trafficking is a severe nationwide issue that is a significant concern for the City of Sacramento,” said Mayor Darrell Steinberg. “I firmly believe that this campaign will force individuals, whether they be observers or victims, to acknowledge the reality of this problem and encourage reports.”
The National Human Trafficking Hotline has handled over 43,000 reported cases of human trafficking in the United States since 2007, including over 7,500 from California alone—the highest number of reports from any state. The billboards are specifically designed to reach potential victims of labor trafficking, as the crime is chronically underreported and people who experience exploitation aren’t always aware there is help available. A total of 7,200 cases of labor trafficking have been reported in the United States, including over 1,000 in California and over 30 in Sacramento alone.
“We’re proud to join in solidarity with our longtime partners, Polaris, and Mayor Steinberg to help human trafficking victims across the Sacramento area and beyond, get out of the life in which they’re trapped,” said Bob Schmitt, Regional President, Clear Channel Outdoor – Northern California. “Using this highly-visible form of media, we want to send a clear message to victims that help is available, and to traffickers, that our city is a fly-over zone for modern day slavery.”
CCOA has supported more than 25 anti-human trafficking campaigns over the last 6 years and data show that the campaigns drive calls to the hotline, including tips and requests by victims for help. This latest billboard campaign will deliver over 32 million impressions over its four-week span in Sacramento.
This latest campaign is a part of the national partnership Polaris and CCOA forged in 2013 to combat human trafficking with campaigns in cities across America. CCOA launched its first anti-human trafficking campaign alongside Polaris in Philadelphia in 2012 and has since supported campaigns with Polaris and/or local partners in Baltimore, Iowa, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Jersey, New York, Chicago, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, and across the state of Texas.
The National Human Trafficking Hotline is a 24/7, confidential, and multilingual lifeline that provides support and a variety of options for survivors of human trafficking to get connected to help and stay safe. Through a network of nearly 4,000 partner service providers and trusted law enforcement, trained hotline advocates take tips of suspected human trafficking from community members and help survivors build plans so they can safely leave their situations or get the help they need to rebuild their lives. The National Hotline can communicate via phone in more than 200 languages through a translation service, as well as text, chat, email, and webform in English and Spanish. The National Hotline is operated by Polaris and funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other donors.
