It seems radio stations can’t help breaking records when it comes to charity events. Fresno’s NewsTalk 580/105.9 KMJ – in conjunction with agriculture company Gar Tootelian Inc. and Fresno-Madera Farm Credit – just raised over $154K for Fresno’s Community Food Bank. A 50 cents-on-the-dollar matching donation from Gar Tootelian brought the grand total to an amazing $231,000. And all it took was a one-day broadcast at the Market Grocery Store featuring KMJ hosts and their loyal and generous listeners.
Patty Hixson, VP/GM of KMJ, said, “I’m overwhelmed by the support of our community. We can always count on the generosity of our highly-valued KMJ listeners. A special thanks to Karen and Greg of Gar Tootelian for their massive contribution, and the hard work of our talented on-air team.”
