CUMULUS MEDIA Country WWKI (HIT COUNTRY 100.5)I/KOKOMO, IN's WE CARES organization celebrated its 44th anniversary by announcing it had raised a total of $436,192.26 for 2016. The final figure is tallied from money raised during numerous fundraisers held throughout the year, including a 48-hour telethon, TRIM-A-TREE FESTIVAL, WE CARE Store, and Wrap-Up auction. The check was presented live on WWKI earlier this WEEK.
CUMULUS MEDIA KOKOMO/MUNCIE VP/Market Manager JOHN SPILMAN said, “We’re grateful to be part of WE CARE’s beginnings and our continued involvement with an organization that has such an impact on the heart of our community. WE CARE started MONDAY (DECEMBER 12th) with $436,000 in the bank, then gave it all away. That really hits home.”
