Chet Buchanan ends Las Vegas’ 98.5 KLUC’s 19th Annual Chet Buchanan Show Toy Drive with another record-setting year of donations. The 12-day event filled 32 50-foot Coca-Cola trailers with new toys, along with 8,109 bikes and $455,550 in cash and gift cards. Throughout the 12 days, Buchanan lived 30 feet up on a scaffolding unit for 24 hours a day, without coming down, to raise awareness for families that may need a little extra help this holiday season. The event, which ran November 30–December 11, benefits HELP of Southern Nevada, a nonprofit organization that assists less fortunate families during the holiday season.
“What Chet does each year for children in the Las Vegas community is truly incredible,” said Entercom Las Vegas Operations Manager J.B. King. “This year, after battling 30-mile-an-hour winds and near freezing overnight temperatures, we still managed to have our biggest Toy Drive year ever.”
