IRVING, Texas — Nexstar Media Group Inc. announced that the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation is making a $5,000 contribution to a local organization as part of the company’s “30 Days of Giving” initiative, a monthlong program recognizing and supporting nonprofit and charitable organizations serving communities across Nexstar’s nationwide footprint.

The Spencer Davis Foundation was nominated by employees at WTAJ.

The nonprofit was founded by Spencer Davis, a 10th grade student at Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School who survived a sudden cardiac arrest during football practice in September 2024. The four individuals who saved him, including two of his football coaches, were CPR trained, despite no state requirement at the time for such training or for life-saving equipment in schools.

Today, the foundation is dedicated to educating communities, providing CPR and automated external defibrillators training and equipping schools and organizations with life-saving medical equipment to respond to sudden cardiac arrest incidents. In April, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed legislation requiring CPR and AED training for school staff and mandating AEDs on-site and at all school athletic events.

“We have been impressed by the mission and meaningful work of The Spencer Davis Foundation,” said Phil Dubrow, vice president and general manager of WTAJ-TV. “Their commitment to providing help and hope to so many is inspiring. We are proud to support their efforts and contribute to the impact they are making in our community.”
