Want to help with the “One Day Challenge?”
Giving form below!
From Memorial Day week through the 4th of July, listen to WWIB for portions of interviews with servicemembers from multiple branches of our armed forces! We’ve asked these veterans about ways we can best encourage and show love to our troops - and their families - while they are deployed, and also when they return to civilian life.
“We’ve Got Your Back” is presented by Markquart Motors, your Hometown Chevy Dealership!
But it doesn’t end there! Thanks to the generosity of our business sponsors (listed below), we will also be sending out CARE PACKAGES to our active duty Wisconsin military!
And that’s where you come in…
…it's our “Care Package Challenge!” And we need YOU!
We're CHALLENGING the WWIB Family to step up and give a personal touch to approximately 100 care packages that will be mailed to members of our own Wisconsin Army National Guard!
Will you help us?
And NEW THIS YEAR, on Friday, June 21st, we are also having a special ONE DAY on-air fundraiser for two local non-profits that serve our veterans:
Vets Fighting 4 Vets and Liberte Sails!
Please consider giving generously to help - you can make a gift online below!
KIDS and FAMILIES!
PRINT this template (or stop by the WWIB Studios in Hallie) and use it to write a short note or draw a colorful picture to be included in our care packages! We’ve heard from so many military members that these notes and pictures are truly the “star of the show,” and we can’t do it without you!
This is such a great way to serve!
