Chet Buchanan Up High For Toy Drive

ENTERCOM Top 40 KLUC/LAS VEGAS just wrapped up the 20th annual 98.5 KLUC CHET BUCHANAN SHOW TOY DRIVE. The 12-day record setting event topped over $500,000 in cash and gift cards collected, filled 37 COCA-COLA semi-truck trailers with new toys and collected 8,757 new bikes.

Once again, KLUC morning host CHET BUCHANAN lived for 24 hours a day for 12 days, 30 feet in the air on a 30x40-foot platform in the NV ENERGY parking lot to raise awareness for families that may need a little extra help this holiday season.

The event, benefits HELP OF SOUTHERN NEVADA, a nonprofit organization that assists less fortunate families during the holiday season. Starting now, they will be helping over 3,000 families along with over 80 other nonprofit organizations to ensure that as many families as possible have gifts to unwrap this holiday season.

One of the highlights of the event was NICK CARTER of the BACKSTREET BOYS spent the morning of day five dressed as ST. NICK (CARTER) for the ST. NICK KISSING BOOTH. Some fans waited as long as 11 hours for the opportunity to have their photo taken and exchange a kiss on the cheek with CARTER. His efforts helped raise over $12,000 in tickets and donations.
