The 28th Annual Bed & Bread Club Radiothon was a huge success thanks to the amazing generosity of Metro Detroiters like you. $1,397,817 raised over 16 Hours! And it all goes right to the street to feed 5000 men, women and children in our area every day! I can't tell you how appreciative I am and how much I enjoyed hosting the final 3 hours of the event broadcast on 760 WJR! Below are some pics from Friday night...courtesy of my daughter's Jill and Jessica.
