Salvation Army’s Children Wish Radiothon raises over $33,000

The 2023 Moose FM Radiothon in support of the Salvation Army is officially in the books. 

This year’s grand total exceeded last year’s, coming in at over $33,000. 

Major Debbie Allen, Church Pastor, says the radiothon raises awareness of how the nonprofit helps people and doubles as a major component of the Salvation Army’s fundraising.  

“What we raise at Christmas is basically what funds our year-round programming in addition to supporting the Christmas hampers and toy program,” she says.  

Over the two-day period, listeners were asked to give what they can, and local businesses were encouraged to donate and challenge other businesses.
