AEW President Tony Khan appeared on The Rich Eisen Show to promote the 300th episode of Dynamite and made a surprise announcement, pledging a second $100,000 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The conversation began with Eisen pointing out that a neck brace Khan had signed during a previous appearance was still on display in their studio. Khan used the moment to praise Eisen’s own charity work before making his announcement.
“That was great to be able to come here and have that neck brace be a part of something really special we did for St. Jude,” Khan said. “With all these great milestones, I came back here. My most important point of being on the show with you today is that I wanted to tell you that again, this year, I’m going to be given $100,000 to St. Jude.”
An audibly stunned Eisen thanked Khan for his generosity. “I cannot thank you enough for that. You’re a beautiful man. You’re a great man,” Eisen responded.
This marks the second consecutive year that Khan has made a six-figure donation to St. Jude in connection with his appearance on the show. “Thank you for having me back, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about AEW… on your show,” Khan added. “You’ve been such a great friend to me, and what you do for the charity is so great.”
The donation continues a strong relationship between AEW and charitable causes. The company frequently partners with organizations for various initiatives throughout the year, including their “AEW Together” community outreach program.
