A Great Charity Will Make A Great Drive

I took some friends to the Chet Buchanan event a few years ago and one of them, who basically runs Catholic Charities for the Twin Cities, kinda grilled Chet on the toys and what kind of system he had for distributing them. He had all the answers and explained how the massive number of toys actually get to the kids who need them.

Impressed, she went to Target and whipped out her plastic.

Hot 98.1 in Greenville has zeroed in on a great organization that provides shelter and resources for abused kids, has a wish list from the charity and people can purchase remotely and ship straight to them or drop them off. HOT 98.1 Toy Drive | HOT 98.1 | WHZT-FM

Pay For Play

One of the best and easiest cash generators for charity has always been to sell requests. Mix in Cincy has done it (and yes, I paid to hear “Fascinated” by Company B) and Newcap in Edmonton raised close to $100,000 over a weekend for Katrina relief. The Breeze in Edmonton is playing Christmas music and are selling songs from 3 to 7 every Friday for a different weekly charity. Christmas Pay to Play | 96.3 The Breeze :: Relaxing Favourites

Santa Shouts

From the aforementioned Mix in Cincy where Jay Kruz taught me that, “It’s not payola if you don’t play the song”, where listeners can enter to get a greeting from Santa to their kid and also get entered for a $500 spa package.
