fundraisers

When we visited St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis earlier this month, the first thing I noticed was the overwhelming feeling of hope and love inside the walls. They are focused on the needs of each and every child and offer so many programs to help them through their journey. I was blown away by the Teen Patient Art Gallery.

I cried a lot yesterday morning on the show, on and off the air; before, during and long after the mics were shut off. I was exhausted and it was only hour number two.

The city of Cohoes has been through so much in the past 3 weeks.  But if there's one we learned after the fire, it's that Cohoes Strong isn't just a slogan, it's real.  Cash totals have come in from various fundraisers, and the numbers are staggeringly good!

Thanks to YOUR generosity, all of us here at WGNA are happy to present a check to the Cohoes Community Center on Monday, December 18th to help out the many affected by the awful fire that struck the city last month.  The presentation will take place at the re-opening of Smith's Restaurant at noon.

Today (Monday December 4th) we are spending the entire day collecting monetary donations and goods for the victims of the devastating fire that ripped through downtown Cohoes. Here's how you can be a part of it.

As a resident of Cohoes and witnessing the devastating fire that happened on Thursday, it left myself and the entire Capital Region asking how we can help. Join us Monday as we kick off our Rebuild Cohoes Relief Effort.

The beard is a way of life, and thanks to No-Shave November it's helping to save lives.
