The Taylorville Kiwanis Club raised $1325 for its local projects for children and youth, during the annual WRAN 97.3 Kiwanis Radiothon heard on the station Tuesday.
Kiwanis member Eric Kahle chaired the Radiothon effort, selling some $2650 in local sponsorships to local businesses. WRAN then gave half the total sold, which was $1325, back to the Club.
Kiwanis members volunteered to be guest announcers thru-out the 7-hour live broadcast, reading sponsor commercials.
Kiwanis president Chuck Martin was presented the check by WRAN on-the-air.
The cooperative effort with the Miller Media Group stations over the past 25 years have earned the local Kiwanis Club nearly $30,000.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge. For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
