AEW President Tony Khan made a surprise and heartfelt announcement during a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show to promote the 300th episode of AEW Dynamite. In a generous move, Khan pledged a second consecutive $100,000 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The segment began on a light note as Eisen pointed out that the neck brace Khan signed during his previous visit was still proudly displayed in the studio. Khan used the moment to praise Eisen’s ongoing charity work before revealing the true purpose of his visit.
“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 giving $100,000 to St. Jude.”
The unexpected announcement stunned Eisen, who responded with sincere appreciation.
“I cannot thank you enough for that. You’re a beautiful man. You’re a great man,” Eisen replied.
This marks the second year in a row that Khan has donated a six-figure sum to the renowned children’s hospital through his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. Khan went on to thank Eisen for providing a platform not only for AEW but also for charitable awareness:
“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.”
Khan’s donation underscores AEW’s ongoing commitment to philanthropic efforts. The company’s “AEW Together” community outreach program continues to partner with various nonprofits throughout the year, further cementing AEW’s dedication to making a positive impact beyond the ring.
