For this upcoming Holiday Season, the Townsquare Media Radio Stations (WKDQ, WJLT, WDKS, WGBF-FM, WGBF-AM) will team up with Henderson Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and the 911 Gives Hope charity to present the 7th annual “911 Gives Hope for the Holidays†toy drive. For the past 6 years we have successfully filled a 53 foot trailer with toys that were distributed to the Children’s Wards at local hospitals. This year all 5 radio stations will again partner together for a mass broadcast “radiothon†to urge the public to donate toys, clothing, gift certificates and more to the Children’s Wards at Deaconess Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital, Methodist Hospital, Evansville Psychiatric Children’s Center and The Ronald Mc Donald House.
The radiothon will begin at 5am on Friday, December 4th and will run thru 6pm on Sunday, December 6th. The radio stations will broadcast live from the Wal-Mart on Burkhardt the entire weekend with additional broadcasts, live from Henderson Chevrolet in Henderson Kentucky. Local Fire Departments, Police Departments, Sheriff’s Departments and AMR will be in attendance all weekend in an effort to fill another 53 foot trailer. Santa will also be on hand and available for pictures throughout the weekend.
The toys that are collected will be sorted and delivered to the local hospitals on Monday, December 21st, just in time for Christmas. For more information contact Angie Ross-Peters at 812-425-4226 ext. 308
