WHO/Des Moines' Simon Conway Holds 4th Annual BBQ Giveaway For Puppy Jake Foundation

From Sunnier 2016 Event

iHEARTMEDIA News-Talk WHO-A/DES MOINES afternoon host SIMON CONWAY held his fourth annual free BBQ sandwich last FRIDAY (10/6) for the benefit of the PUPPY JAKE FOUNDATION, the charity that acquires, raises and professionally trains service dogs for veterans.  The fundraiser started by raising $4,000 three years ago, then $6,000 the next year, $23,000 in 2016, and, this year, over $28,500.  A local supermarket donated the meat and a local barbecue grilling champion donated buns and sauce and did the cooking.

“I am speechless! People drove long distances, handed over huge sums of money and my show's sponsors stepped up too -- one of them calling in and doubling his initial $1,000 donation," said CONWAY. "This year the weather was terrible too. Raining most of the time and a huge storm on the way."
