fundraisers

Three local banks have pooled their donation funds together and handed over a check to help the victims of the devastating Cohoes fire.

We had special guests on the Sean, Richie and Bethany Show this morning, and they were  a great addition (and very into our High School Hunger Games competition)!

This is a kind of a neat opportunity - to actually do something of a serious nature for a change. And as for YOU, here's a chance for you to plug your upcoming charity event on multiple radio stations in our Townsquare family

We had a fantastic morning at the Hannaford Supermarkets on Wolf Road in Colonie for our Blue Friday fundraiser.   I tried to take some photos, but I was a little busy. However this one was my personal favorite, and I think it speaks volumes

I found a few thought provoking quotes from famous folks about police officers, but more importantly, a reminder to help us support the families of cops killed in the line of duty.  Our Blue Friday fundraiser is April 24th.  Locations to follow

It's quickly become a WGNA tradition.  It's been recognized year after year by the New York State Legislature.  It's BLUE FRIDAY.    This year we're announcing a new date  for our fundraiser to raise money for the families of fallen police officers  killed in the line of duty.

It always tugs at your heart strings to hear stories like this, but there is a fire department chief who has been diagnosed with colon cancer, and there's an important fundraiser to tell you about.

On Open Line Friday on the morning show we got a call from Becky Bowman about her daughter Kaitlin.  They are raising funds for Kaitlin's care and for a playground in Corinth to be built in her honor. I asked her to send me a message with info on a few fundraisers they are having, and I got this note from her: Thank you all so much for helping to share Kaitlin's story...

Today, April 24, 2014 is the 11th annual Dine Out For Life Night in the Albany, New York area.

On Saturday, November 16, 2013 you're invited to Dance The Night Away at the Troy Hilton to help The Dance Crazy youth ballroom program.

I received this email yesterday, and of course wanted to immediately see if we could in any way help.  It's a touching story, and funds are desperately needed.
