February 20, 2013 I feel like it's Christmas Eve and I'm six years-old again! I'm so excited that I can't sleep! My favorite two work days of the year are finally here.... the WBKR St. Jude Radiothon! We, for 26 hours in two days, will devote everything that we have to raising money for the children and their families at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude is a place that literally takes care of EVERYTHING when parents are facing their greatest fears... watching their children fight for their lives.
Did you know that it takes 1.8 MILLION dollars EACH DAY to run the hospital? Did you know that the average donation to St. Jude is $30? That is proof that every little bit makes a HUGE difference.
Are you a Partner in Hope for the children of St. Jude? Yes...great! It's the time of year to renew your partnership. No...well, it's time that you are! It's simple! Here is how to become one!

February 12, 2013 Harlie is a six year old from Beaver Dam fighting a brain tumor. She is currently undergoing her second round of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the tumor has grown, forcing the delay of the Proton Radiation Therapy treatment she was to begin this month. Now she must suffer through a few more months of sickness as they attempt to slow the growth of the tumor.
Some of you were lucky enough to meet Harlie this summer at one of my Jac's Big O Parties. She is such a bright ray of sunshine and we know she will win this fight!
Join Harlie and her family TONIGHT at Ohio County High School for a night to honor her!
