The stations of Big Radio including WCLO 1230AM, 105.9 The Hog, WJVL 99.9 FM, Iron Country and The Beat concluded their annual holiday charity fund raising events last week with very positive results. The events included an online auction of items generously donated by local businesses and a 12 hour “ringing and bringing” donation drive. Both events combined to raise more than $7,700 in cash plus a truck load of toys, food and other items. All proceeds from the events will be split between E.C.H.O. and the Rock County Salvation Army.
The first ever “Big Radio Twelve Hour Radiothon” auction event, sponsored by Blain’s Farm and Fleet and K&W Greenery, raised over $4,500 for the charities. Some of the donated items included automotive tires and service, an air hockey table, a diamond pendent, a gun safe, gift certificates, and more.
