Hey, you like sharing, right? Of course you do. How about the opportunity to give the magic of Christmas to an underprivileged child? Would you like that, or are you a heartless monster? No, I didn’t think you were a monster. Considering what we know about you so far, that you like sharing and aren’t a monster, I have a great opportunity for you.
My dad’s radio station (WTCR) is doing their “Adopt-A-Child” Program, and things are going very slowly, like “It’s the last week and they still have 95% of the kids unclaimed”-slowly. Basically, they just need you to pick a kid and buy something for them. WTCR organizes, wraps the gifts and throws the kids a big party. I’ve gone the past couple of years, it’s really great and it really makes a difference for the kids, many of whom won’t have much a holiday without this.
You can drop off something if you’re local, but you can also ship a gift (9801 Radio Park Road, Catlettsburg, KY 41129) through Amazon or something if you don’t live in the area, and just want to help out. The deadline is Dec. 7 and you can call 1-800-275-9827 to get involved.
Best yet, if you call between 6 and 10 a.m. EST you’ll get to speak to AMERICA’S FAVORITE RADIO DISC JOCKEY PERSONALITY Clint McElroy. Yeah, you’re welcome.
