A Visual For Your Drive

DJ's sitting at a table in a mall begging for donations is not the visual that Bob from News Center 5 is going to be ecstatic about. He's going to want something a little more show bizzy. One of the stations in the Twin Cities had a 5000 person choir at Mall Of America for the culmination of a 'thon last year and it got coverage on all the affiliates.

Here's the deal: every highschool choir in your market has practiced and learned a bunch(tm) of carols. Invite them all down. Bing. Bang. Boom.

Or do what Lite in Poughkeepsie is doing: they're having the cast of a local theater company come in and do a live performance of "It's A Wonderful Life."

Santa's Balls

'DJX in Louisville has always been cool. They raised some money for a children's home, gave away some concert tickets and backstage passes, and were able to say "Santa" and "balls" in the same sentence. Simple: you came down to an event, got a numbered ping pong ball (made a donation if you so chose to), all the balls went in Santa's sack (that was intentional), he climbed up to the third level of an entertainment complex and unloaded them on a target below. Your ball hits the target and you go to the concert that night.

New Years Arm Candy

'SJT in Tampa was blessed with, well, a hot MD. Kathy Curtis So they whored her out as arm candy for some listener at the station's charity bash on the 31st. Men sent in their pics, the audience votes, and one lucky dude went to the party with her. As can only happen when you do something like this, the guy was a yokel with a belt buckle the size of Wyoming.
