11/13: Star 94 $1.2 million fundraiser
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For its fifth annual Cares for Kids Radioathon, Star 94 raised $1,212,437, virtually the same as the past three years. (Last year’s pledge total was $1,215,834 and in 2005, $1.2 million in 2005 and $1.167 million in 2004). Over five years, the station has raised a whopping $5.8 million. And this year, they did it without the benefit of Steve & Vikki, who left the station on November 2. Cindy & Ray, the afternoon team, worked double shifts to cover for them. And Tom Sullivan, Shannon Holly and Nudge helped out, too, over three days ending Saturday.
Monies go to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. You can still donate money at www.star94.com.

Well let’s all bow down to Cindy and Ray. Maybe if Star wouldn’t have “fired” Steve and Vikki, they wouln’t have to work double duty. I listened to the telethon and heard how poorly they did on the first day. They were shooting for 100 miracle makers an hour most of the time. Last year they were shooting for 350+. I have a sneaking suspician that a last minute large monetary contribution was made so that the telethon didn’t appear to be a failure without Steve & Vikki. Personally, I think Atlanta is mad at Star 94. The kind of people that constantly criticize Steve & Vikki probably aren’t the type of people who would listen & and donate to a children’s charity.
