"God Bless America" Royalties Donated to Scouting Organizations-Truth! But Inaccurate Details!
EXCERPT: God Bless America was originally introduced and performed live on Armistice Day, November 11, 1938 by Kate Smith on her radio program. It became an immediate hit resulting in the popular demand for the sheet music. Afterwards, Berlin established the God Bless America Fund where proceeds from royalties were donated to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America.
