It
is time to serve kids once again . . . .
The dates are now set for the 2008 Radiothon for Rady Children's Hospital.
Please set aside March 5-7, 2008 for this 7th annual event.
We have had great success in the past raising significant funds
for the hospital by "manning" the phones during this
event. This year will be no different - with one twist - -
we will be on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday this year with no weekend shifts.
Partnered with the Clear Channel radio stations - spreading
the Rady Children's Hospital message - we are the "ears" and "hands" of
this project as we accept the pledges over the phones. It is always
a blessing to speak with folks as they call in with their pledges.
So . . I will need your help in filling our shifts during these three
weekdays.
However . . I am very excited since we will have SIX (6) "Drive
Times" (morning and evening commutes) on these days - which have
been very, very successful in reaching folks in the past years.
The stations this year are KOGO, US 95.7, Channel 933 and STAR
94.1. Jeff & Jer; Tony & Kris; Mike O'Brian, AJ's Playhouse
are some of the radio celebs we will work with. They will be
broadcasting LIVE
from the hospital each day; with some feeds from the studios also.
Please use the attached forms - in WORD or .pdf - to register
your clubs for this service project. (I need ONE form per volunteer
please.) I ask
that you send this form to ALL of your clubs and Kiwanians; announce
the event at your DCMs and club meetings; and spread the word of the
need for volunteers.
In addition, please send this info off to your KEY Club, Circle K and
Kiwins LTGs.
Remember . . it is first-come; first served . . so FAX or email me the
forms. My contact info is on the form and is shown below for your use.
I need to have the form filled out - - not just an email - so scan it
if you are responding via the internet.
We will also be announcing some fundraising activities for clubs as we
approach these dates for an even greater impact this year; so watch for
these ideas via email.
We are looking forward to a great year helping to raise funds for the
hospital.
Thanks for being Kiwanians . . and thanks in advance for your assistance
with this great project.
