During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show celebrating AEW Dynamite’s 300th episode, AEW President Tony Khan announced he will make a second $100,000 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This pledge continues a personal tradition that Khan began during a previous visit to the same program, reaffirming his commitment to supporting the charity.
Reflecting on Past Milestones and Charity Efforts
The interview opened with a warm acknowledgment of Khan’s earlier visit, highlighted by the presence of a signed neck brace worn during that time, still displayed in the studio. Khan praised Rich Eisen’s fundraising work for St. Jude before sharing the purpose of his return to the show.
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.
Emotional Response and Gratitude Expressed on the Show
Rich Eisen responded emotionally to Khan’s announcement, expressing deep gratitude for the donation.
I cannot thank you enough for that. You’re a beautiful man. You’re a great man,
Eisen said, recognizing the significance of Khan’s generosity.
Khan, marking the second consecutive year of such a large contribution on the show, concluded the segment by expressing appreciation for the opportunity and Eisen’s friendship.
Thank you for having me back, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about AEW… on your show,
Khan shared.
You’ve been such a great friend to me, and what you do for the charity is so great.
AEW’s Ongoing Commitment to Charitable Causes
Khan’s donation reflects AEW’s wider dedication to community support through initiatives like AEW Together, which frequently partners with nonprofit organizations to aid causes related to youth development, health, and wellness nationwide. This consistent engagement highlights the company’s focus on giving back beyond the wrestling world.
