Audacy Greensboro host Christian Kornegay, known on 102 Jamz (WJMH) as CDK, welcomed more than 250 local elementary school students and their families for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, live music, raffle prizes, and early holiday gifts.
The inaugural event, organized through his CDK Cares Initiative, benefitted the Bessemer Elementary School.
Bessemer Elementary School Principal Jonathan Brooks told WXLV-TV, “We’re a Title One school with a hundred percent reduced lunch, and so, unfortunately, the sad reality is this may be the only meal this week where a lot of us are going sit down on Thursday and enjoy a meal with our families and our loved ones. This may be the only traditional Thanksgiving meal that some of our families get.”
CDK On The Mic and Brooks both hope to establish the Thanksgiving family event as an annual tradition.
