Go ahead. Help them out if you can.
As you may know, the Westwood Girls
basketball team is heading downstate for a state Division 3 title
run. They play in the quarterfinals tomorrow night in Gaylord; if
they win, they then play Thursday afternoon in Grand Rapids, and if
they win that game they play for all the marbles Saturday afternoon.
Now, sending a team hundreds of miles away for the potential of
almost a week costs a lot of money, and that's why we're doing out
part to help them out. Here's how--
I'm gonna have several members of team
on the air with me today, talking about both their trip and the need
for funds for it. We'll also see if we can separate some listeners
from their money in the form of payment for an Instant Request. I'm
also thinking that we could put a spin on it, as well. Say, as an
example, someone pledges $100 to hear “The Macarena”. It would
seem to me that someone else may be will to pay $200 NOT to hear “The
Macarena”, and last time I checked, $200 was better than $100, so
it would be a win-win.
The team would get more money, and
Upper Michigan wouldn't have to listen to “The Macarena”. What's
not to like, right?
I don't know if we'll get THAT
involved, but I do know that we wanna raise awareness throughout the
afternoon about both the great job the team has been doing this year,
and the fact that their greatness actually needs a little money to
continue. If we can do that, then we've done our job, whether or not
we have to listen to “The Macarena”.
That's happening from one until four
today, so if you have the chance, check it out. And if you'd like to
help out yourself, the team has set up a Go Fund Me page to take
donations. Just CLICK HERE for more information.
Thanks!
