Radio station listeners spread holiday cheer to less fortunate

Posted:

Christmas is a time when no one should go without gifts.

So, with your help, two Rapid City radio stations are doing their part to make sure there are presents under every tree.

Q92.3 and She106.3 have partnered with Girls Inc, who provided a list of 6- to 14-year-olds who may not get a single gift this year.

The stations are accepting gifts from the public. They will wrap and deliver the gifts.

Staff at the stations will even do the shopping if listeners want to donate money.

"Kids nowadays want more and more and bigger and bigger, and these girls are just asking for one gift that they can unwrap on Christmas. And our listeners are just jumping on board and helping out," said Q92.3 on-air personality Laura Tanner.

The program runs through December 20.

If you would like to be involved, you can find more information by linking to the Q92.3 or She106.3 websites.
