December 4, 2012 Here at WBKR, we have spent 36 years making sure children in the tri-state get a visit from Santa for Christmas. Home Instead Senior Care knows that seniors could use a little Santa too and are again leading a community -wide effort that encourages folks, just like you, to Be a Santa to a Senior! Late last week, Stephen Bryson, with Home Instead, stopped by The WBKR Waking Crew and explained how the program it works and how easy it is to spread some holiday cheer. LISTEN!

December 3, 2012 Gaylord Opryland Resort continues its tradition that is the Hall of Trees. Each year, the hotel invites non-profit agencies to decorate Christmas trees that are put up for auction during the hotel's "A Country Christmas" celebration. The charities actually get to keep the money their trees generate. So, for the second year in a row, we have a Christmas Wish tree on display in Nashville. Check this out!
December 1, 2012 The 2012 Thunder Roads Kentucky and Owensboro Biker News Holiday Bash is tonight! Formerly called The Bikers Ball, over the three previous Christmas seasons, this event has been one of, if not the largest contributor to the Western Kentucky Toys for Tots fundraising campaign. This event has assisted the Toys for Tots campaign, along with many other local businesses in helping take care of thousands of children each year in the 11 local counties serviced by the GySgt. W.J. Norris Detachment #804 Marine Corps League.
Tonight you can look forward to TONS of food, auction items and great LIVE entertainment!
November 29, 2012 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is all about taking care of the children who are fighting for their lives. They do their best to make sure the kids are having fun and enjoying their regular lives as much as possible. And, this Christmas, you can help out too!
November 29, 2012 Every year I broadcast live from our Christmas Wish office and this year is no different. The office opened on Monday in Towne Square Mall, but I won't be over there until this coming Monday.
Yesterday, Chad called and asked me to go over to the office when I got off the air and help investigate letters. Of course I said "Sure!", but was thinking "Ugh, I'd rather not." Yep, you know what's coming next.... It doesn't take too many phone calls to realize just how lucky and blessed we all are.
November 26, 2012 Donnie "Sax" Sanders, Dallas Roberts and 2 Miles Back! Lots of entertainment. Lots of great food! And a huge silent auction to benefit the WBKR/WOMI Telecom Pioneers Christmas Wish program, which just kicked off its 36th year of ensuring that every child in the tri-state gets a visit from Santa! The folks at CRS One Source came to us a couple of months ago with a desire to "give back" to the community . . . specifically by helping raise money for Christmas Wish. And they're doing it in style THIS WEEKEND. This morning, the organizers stopped by the WBKR Waking Crew to give us all the details about Saturday's big event. LISTEN!
