28 HOURS OF HOPE RAISES OVER $70,000 - THANK YOU!

K99 GOOD MORNING GUYS BRIAN GARY AND TODD HARDING RAISED $70,572.72 DURING THE 11th ANNUAL “28 HOURS OF HOPE”

On Thursday, April 16th at 5:00 AM, K99 20-year veteran morning team, Brian Gary and Todd Harding began their 28-hour air shift that concluded on Friday morning, April 17th, at 9:00 AM. The calls kept pouring in so we continued to man the phones and take donations through 11:00AM Friday.

The K99 Good Morning Guys surpassed their goal with the help of listeners, local businesses, nationally and locally recognized artists. This includes a great start to our donations of $1,000 from Signature Bank in Windsor and a very generous donation of $10,000 right at the end from Water Valley/The Eagles. Thousands of pledges are attributed to the $70,572.72 raised for the 11th Annual 28 Hours of Hope.

In 2008, the K99 Good Morning Guys 28 Hours of Hope raised over $100,000 for the 10th Annual 28 Hours of Hope.

Donations go to help three local child abuse prevention centers: A Kid’s Place in Greeley, Larimer County Child Advocacy Center in Fort Collins, and Namaqua Center in Loveland. All three centers accept donations year round.

A big Thank You to everyone who was a part of this in any way.

LIndsey O'Brien April 2009

Every day IT’S something new

He braced himself and still fell thru

He’s just a boy with a dream that’s all

Down the stairs wasn’t really a fall

He lays in bed and dreams at night

Begging goD for a day with no fight

He cries, why’s he like this

Whys he got to hit

My vision of life nothing this

He’s thinking of running

But nowhere to go

It’s not the life he wanted

But the only life he knows

he’s dreaming of dying

Wants it all to go away

Then people come together and made a longer day

Giving 28 hours

Giving what they can

28 hours to help others understand

In 28 hours It helps us all cope

IT’S 28 hours of giving hope

Giving hope

The suns a little brighter

The birds begin to sing

He stands a little taller

Having faith in all these beings

Who’ve all come together

To make a change

Holding hands across the world

to make a longer day

Giving 28 hours

Giving what they can

28 hours to help others understand

In 28 hours It helps us all cope

IT’S 28 hours of giving hope

Giving hope

It’s the power of the people

Like you and me

It’s the power of the people

To help everybody see

When we all work together

We can really make a change

It’s the power of the people

Who can make a longer day

Giving 28 hours

Giving what they can

28 hours to help others understand

In 28 hours It helps us all cope

IT’S 28 hours of giving hope

Giving hope
