NORWAY — The Inaugural Christmas for Kids Radio-Thon will be held from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, from on WOXO 92.7 and 100.7, noted Stan Bennett, owner and president of Bennett Radio Group.
Bennett, a 30-year veteran of Maine radio, will be working in conjunction with the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce and RightStart, Inc. to raise money and collect toys and clothing for local children and families in need throughout Oxford Hills during the holiday season.
RightStart, an all-volunteer non-profit, has been providing programs and services to children and teens throughout Oxford Hills since 1979. This year, however, because of COVID-19, the organization has had difficulty getting local businesses to be drop-off locations for charitable contributions.
Bennett, along with John Williams, executive director of the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce, and Connie Allen, coordinator of Christmas for Kids with RightStart, decided to collaborate on a 13-hour Radio-Thon to ensure local families will not go without during the holidays.
People are invited to drop off new toys, clothing or monetary donations during the fundraising broadcast hours at Bennett Radio Group’s Studio at 243 Main St. Listeners will also be able to call-in and donate by credit card at 207-743-7812. More details are available at www.woxo.com. All state and local COVID 19 protocols will be followed during the radio-thon.
Throughout the course of the Radio-Thon, local businesses owners, local officials and other select guests will be live in-studio or by phone to discuss the importance of Christmas for Kids–and teens–within the community.
Rightstart is an all volunteer organization that provides programs and services to children and teens throughout Oxford Hills.In August, Stan and Alison Bennett acquired and revived five local stations serving Oxford County, the River Valley, Lewiston/Auburn as well as a portion of eastern New Hampshire.
