Morning host DL HUGHLEY led the effort during which listeners were asked to donate any amount, but those who donated $98 or more were treated to special song requests. HUGHLEY said, “First of all, I want to thank our listeners, my KISS-FM family and THE SALVATION ARMY for helping us raise money for HAITI.”

WRKS PD JILL STRADA said, “I cannot think of a better way to spend the MLK Day of service than with our partners from THE SALVATION ARMY. I am proud of my team for making it happen. 98.7 KISS-FM is all about the people and our community.”
