WCCO was once again proud to partner with the Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities to raise over $345,000 to provide meals and care for those in need through WCCO's 22nd annual “Hunger Mission Radiothon". The amount raised during this year’s event brings the overall fundraising total to over $4.6 million since it began in 2003.
"We are deeply grateful to our fans who always show such tremendous generosity," said Brad Lane, Brand Manager/Program Director of WCCO. "This outpouring of support will continue helping UGMTC do the tremendous and necessary work they are engaged in everyday here in the Twin Cities. It also demonstrates the power and relevance of this legacy station in the community!"
