WGTS 91.9 Listeners Sponsor More Than 860 Children

Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning WGTS 91.9 listeners stepped up to impact the lives of children around the world with a Compassion drive. By the end of morning show on Friday, listeners had sponsored a station record of more than 860 children, primarily in Haiti and South America.

Jerry Woods, WGTS 91.9 Morning Show host; Kevin Krueger, general manager; Becky Alignay, Midday host; ShareMedia’s Bill Scott; Blanca Vega, Morning show-co-host, and ShareMedia’s Dave Kirby celebrate a successful Compassion drive.“When I think of my kids, I can’t imagine putting them to bed crying because their tummies hurt from hunger. When I think about all our listeners did through Compassion the last couple days I think about the parents who now have the assurance that their child won’t go to bed hungry tonight,” says Kevin Krueger, general manager.

For more than 60 years Compassion has been working to release children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty. They work in 26 countries to empower today’s children to be tomorrow’s responsible and fulfilled adults.
