IHEARTMEDIA Talk WTKS-F (REAL RADIO 104.1)/ORLANDO and non-profit organization CRIMELINE are again teaming up for the 19th annual "Kicks 4 Guns" guns-for-gift cards swap. This year's event, which allows citizens to anonymously trade in their guns for gift cards, will be held TOMORROW (8/17).
The idea for the event originated with REAL RADIO "MONSTERS IN THE MORNING" host RUSS ROLLINS, who said, “Almost 20 years ago, after the COLUMBINE tragedy, our radio show jokingly thought we could help solve the problem of guns in school and kids beating up other kids for their tennis shoes by offering an even trade. Kicks 4 Guns has proven to be a successful initiative with a significant impact on the lives of the people in the CENTRAL FLORIDA community. This incredible event would not have been possible without the help of Detective BARB from CRIMELINE, all of the police agencies, and the listeners that took a stance against gun violence.”
