On Thursday, April 10th 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 11th, 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, including an incredible additional donation of over $6,000 from Northern Colorado lottery winner, Bettina Cribari, in the final minute of The 28 Hours of Hope, which made the Good Morning Guys reach their goal of $100,000. Thousands of pledges are attributed to the $106,376.36 raised for the 10th Annual 28 Hours of Hope.
In 2007, the K99 Good Morning Guys 28 Hours of Hope raised over $90,000 for the 9th 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!
