TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY...
The 27th Annual 16 Hour Radiothon benefiting the Salvation Army's Bed & Bread Club is almost here! 24 hours from right now, the Radiothon will be in full swing...raising funds for this incredible program that feeds 5000 men, women and children in Metro Detroit everyday, 365 days a year, and shelters almost 600 people a night. A donation of $10 a month ($120 a year) feeds ONE PERSON FOR ONE ENTIRE YEAR. And if you can double it...$20 a month ($240 for the year) feeds TWO PEOPLE FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. There is no other program like it! And the Radiothon is THE major fundraiser! It all takes place tomorrow (Friday, Feb 21) at Oakland Mall from 6am to 10pm and will be broadcast live on 760 AM WJR! And I'm thrilled that I will be hosting the 4pm to 8pm slot along with Big Al and Jackie! It's a "Purtan's People" Reunion...for an incredible cause!
I can't tell you how vital the Bed & Bread Club is to the very survival of so many people in our own area. I was out on one of the trucks last week and saw first hand (as I have so many times) not only immense gratitude for the warm meals it provided, but for the Hope it offered to those who are lost and down on their luck.
I promise you that your donation...whatever you can afford...will truly change lives for the better. You can even make your donation NOW by calling 248-528-0760 or going to wjr.com.
Thank you so much for your support!
