JVC Broadcasting and the Town of Brookhaven, NY, turned local airwaves into a community rally point on December 12, as JVC’s six Nassau–Suffolk stations joined a daylong toy drive that delivered record-setting donations for thousands of Long Island children.
The INTERFACE Toy Drive brought JVC Broadcasting on-air talent together with town officials, volunteers, and sponsors, encouraging listeners to donate new, unwrapped toys throughout the day. The effort resulted in the largest single-day toy collection in the event’s history as donations from the drive provided holiday gifts for more than 7,500 children, from infants through age 15.
JVC Broadcasting President/CEO John Caracciolo commented, “This is what local radio and local government working together is all about. When you bring the community together around a cause, incredible things happen.”
