Christmas Cheer radiothon set for broadcast
The 900 CKBI Radiothon for the Salvation Army’s Christmas Hamper Campaign hits the airwaves Friday morning.
It’s the 68th edition of the very popular Christmas Cheer broadcast and Prince Albert Salvation Army Captain Laura Van Schaick said it really is all about bringing some good news to those less fortunate.
“It’s about spreading Christmas cheer to families that are finding things difficult this Christmas time,” she told paNOW. “The broadcast is all about raising funds to support some of these families who would otherwise have a very sad Christmas.”
“We’re assisting over 500 families and over a thousand children with Christmas dinner and toys,” Van Schaick said.
