This is one of the few days of the year I’ll have the radio on in my office. Wait, that’s not 100% true. I listen to XM (ahem – XM Sirius, or is it Sirius XM now?) because there are no commercials.
Back to the point, many thanks to Bryan for reminding me last night that today is the start to 94.7 WQDR’s Childrens Promise Radio-thon, one of the most life-changing things you can ever listen to, visit, and support.
I believe Jason is performing at 3:30pm in the lobby for any locals who want to tune in or go check out the event. Here’s the email from WQDR about today’s event:
Anyway, we thought we’d remind you just in case you’d like to make a donation. The phones will be open from 5:00 AM until 11:30 PM today at 1-866-9NCKIDS. Or you can log on to our website www.947QDR.com or www.NCChildrensPromise.org to make your pledge or to bid on some amazing music and sports collectibles we’re auctioning off for the cause. This year, we have almost 50 celebrity auction items, including autographed stuff from Toby Keith, Jewel, Chris Cornell, Kenny Chesney, Coach Roy Williams and many, many more.
Even if you can’t give us your money, we’d still love for you to listen. It’s great local radio for a wonderful cause, and once again this year you can watch us live on Time-Warner Cable and News 14 Carolina.
Which reminds me, I do hope everyone will either check out Brittany’s Annual Angel Gala this weekend (I’d love to see you there!) or at least check out the eBay auction and consider supporting Brittany’s Battle!
If you are planning to attend our Gala this Sunday and have not yet purchased you tickets, you can do so right now by going to our web site.
You can buy a ticket at the door, but buy early and save the money for bidding!
Also don’t forget about our raffle for a week’s stay at Shell Island in Wrightsville Beach, NC. The drawing will be at the Gala and you do not need to be present to win! Tickets are $50 each and we are selling no more than 100 of them. Buy yours now!
Attire is business / church appropriate.
There will be a full service cash bar available.
The store is now open and there will be a few more items added, so keep checking back! Bidding will end at midnight this Sunday, November 23rd. So visit our ebay store and bid on some great stuff for a good cause!
