Discord.js v12 - Send Announcement to all servers in specific channel

Question

I'm currently trying to create some sort of an announcement command for events or similar stuff. My issue currently is that it either sends the message X times to one server (X = the amount of servers the bot is in) or it just sends it to a random channel instead of the one that I wanted to send it in (I still don't know why that is).

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
  async function announcement(guild, user) {
    const threshold = 0.85;
    const channel = message.guild.channels.cache.find((channel) => {
      const result = stringSimilarity.compareTwoStrings(
        channel.name.toLowerCase(),
        config.events
      );
      if (result >= threshold) {
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    });
    bot.guilds.cache.forEach((guild) => {
      console.log(guild.name);
      //This is where I would send the message
      //channel.send('message here')
    });
  }
  async function myFunc() {
    for (let guild of bot.guilds.cache) {
      const response = true;
      if (response) {
        announcement();
      }
    }
    resolve();
  }
};

myFunc();

Also yes I know, my promise is rather useless currently, still gotta do some stuff with that.

You would need to find a channel for each guild, so it would have to be created like this

bot.guilds.cache.forEach((guild) => {
 console.log(guild.name);

 //This would make the client to send a message "Announcement!" to a channel named "news" in every server, if such a channel didn't exist in a guild, the message wouldn't be sent for that exact guild
 try {
  guild.channels.cache.find((x) => x.name == 'news').send('Announcement!');
 } catch {
  //If message couldn't be sent
  console.log("Message wasn't sent for " + guild.name);
 }
});
