We are fortunate to have a healthy and active 11-year-old son. Ryan is a compassionate kid and each year we talk about how important the mission of St. Jude is and why we do the radiothon on WGNA. Sometimes it's more impactful to hear an innocent child talk about the amazing work that St. Jude does.

If you love the board game Clue or any murder mystery, you have to pick this up this holiday season. It was created by the Saratoga Springs History Museum and benefits the organization. It's a fun game and a history lesson to boot.

A popular monthly Skate Albany program created the idea to put a skateboard park inside the Noteworthy Resources community center. But it wouldn't be easy and they still have a lot of work and fundraising to do.

One of the coolest and most successful fundraisers in the Capital Region is getting a new location to adhere to COVID protocols. Last year, the South High Marathon Dance was one of the last events held before everything shut down. The students were able to raise over $800,000.

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!

After spending some time with a few of it's residents this morning at our WGNA 'Rebuild Cohoes' broadcast, I've never felt better about a city and it's ability to rise after the horrific fire.

Bridget Simpson of Ticonderoga plans to swim the 32 mile length of Lake George starting today at the public docks in Lake George Village, according to New York Upstate.

I always love getting involved and being part of great local fundraising events. I won't be jumping in Saratoga Lake but you can.
