Bert's Moon Ride in 2013 supported Bert's Big Adventure.

In 2011, "The Bert Show" on Q100 spearheaded a campaign called "The Big Thank You," which aimed to get 400,000 handwritten thank-you letters to deliver to troops overseas on Thanksgiving. The number of letters reached 650,000, and prompted a phone call from Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton. Bert Show host Bert Weiss was all smiles when the call from the First Lady came through.

Co-host Wendy Adams couldn't contain her excitement when Michelle Obama came on the phone in 2011. At left is Kristin Klingshirn.
