CPR Promotional Check-Up - Oct 5, 2022

Breastivus

Breast Cancer Awareness Month starts on Friday and it’s an amazing cause that pretty much touches every family at some point. But it doesn’t have to be just an October “thing”. CBS in San Francisco did a Breastival event with food and music once during the Summer.

December is a time for holiday parties and work gatherings so one of the stations is going to channel their inner-Costanza and do a fundraising party. Wine. Italian food. A metal pole with a bra on it and of course “fetes of strength” or games.

Random Acts Of Christmas

JACK 102.3 in London, Ontario dedicated the Summer to doing a series of good deeds. Clients were able to get tied in but it stood out from all the ‘thons. They went and did actual, tangible things in the community.

If you are up against Wish in December, this could be something you do during the month. Maybe buying someone’s groceries. Bringing a tree to a elder care facility. Bringing hot chocolate to a fire station. Making cookies for kids at a community center. “Stuff” that has a visual and isn’t just a traditional Christmas charity drive.

No Butts For (Cause)

I don’t smoke and I don’t judge. But the cigarette display at the gas station here in Scandia is at eye level and I had really never looked at the prices. Holy crap.

There was an Australian DJ who did “Dry July” and quit booze. She kept track and estimated her savings and donated that amount to a woman’s charity.

Now, what if you applied that to cigarettes and one of your smoking personalities quit for a month with the aid of a valued client who specializes in that kind of thing. In a perfect world he/she would do it in tandem with a local TV reporter or anchor. And obviously in addition to the significant cash donation and their better health, we get the added fun of watching them go slowly insane.

The Stuff That Sirius Can’t Do

John Flint with KSON in San Diego is going to a “guardian” and fly along with a plane full of elderly vets as they head to Washington DC to tour and visit monuments. How COOL is that?

This is the organization.
