Commented ALPHA MEDIA SAGINAW OM DAVE MAURER, “I can recall one emotional moment in the final hour when the stations were making strong appeals to exceed the goal when a volunteer in the phone room was moved to tears when a single listener contributed $1,500 after the caller heard accounts on the air from residents currently staying at the shelters and from those who had moved on and turned their lives around. I am so proud of our staff and community for coming together and helping to make a difference.”
