Cox Media’s KRMG-FM raised $271,000 through its 14th annual “Stories of Light” event, held November 19 – 21 to benefit Make-A-Wish® Oklahoma. KRMG shared stories from local kids and their families to encourage donations. In addition, a local kid’s wish was granted during the broadcast – he was surprised with a ski trip to Canada for himself and his family. The radiothon has raised over $3 million in 14 years.
“This ‘Stories of Light’ fundraiser has become part of the fabric of KRMG,” said Director of Branding and Programming Levi May. “We are honored to play a role in giving children something to look forward to while they are in the middle of difficult medical treatments.”
