Giving Back

We lend our support to community charities in so many ways, but the Most Effective is quality air time.
Direct communication is the best way to share the information that must get out to the public.
We work with large and small community fundraising drives. Some of the larger ones include Visiting Nurses Association 3d Casino Night, LMH Endowment’s Rock the Block Kick Cancer, and the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women.
You will find us at Just Food events, Junior Achievement’s Beach Ball party.
Maybe it’s a sports’ themed event, Penny Jones Golf Classic, Mario Chalmers Golf Tournament, or my personal favorite Brian Hanni’s Rock Chalk Round Ball Classic to benefit children fighting for their lives against cancer. Runners? How about the Kansas ½ Marathon to benefit Heartland Community Health Center, LMH’s area-wide 5K Summer Spray Events.
There are some PSA’s, small fundraisers or neighborhood events we contribute to that don’t make the airwaves. The area high school After Proms, school carnivals, volunteer firefighter communities will call or write asking for donations for their prize drawing. We will put together whatever we have, be it tee shirts, cd’s, or free car washes.
If your organization has a need, big or small, you can start with our Community Calendar on our web pages. Submit your not-for-profit event on any of our websites at www.klwn.com, www.1059kissfm.com, or www.bull929.com
Whatever the cause, we’re happy to help. Local Radio is like word of mouth on steroids. See, we know we talk to at least half of the community every day. And they know the other half!
