CARTER BROADCAST GROUP (CBG)/KANSAS CITY and the NEGRO LEAGUES BASEBALL MUSEUM (NLBM) are set to host the 2nd Annual “Giving Warmth for the Holidays” Warm Clothing Drive on SATURDAY NOVEMBER 9th from 12n-3p (CT) at the NEGRO LEAGUES BASEBALL MUSEUM, 1616 East 18th Street.
Listeners and supporters are invited to bring warm clothing items to the Atrium of the NEGRO LEAGUES BASEBALL MUSEUM, where personalities from GOSPEL KPRT (1590-A/106.1 FM,) Urban KPRS (HOT 103 JAMZ,) and RNB 106.9 FM/103.3 HD2 will be on-site to collect donations.
The clothing drive will accept donations of new or gently used winter coats, caps, gloves, hoodies, sweaters, sweatshirts, pants, and new socks and underwear. The SALVATION ARMY will distribute the collected items through PROJECT WARMTH to those in need.
CBG Pres./CEO MIKE CARTER said, “Giving back to the community is very important to the CARTER BROADCAST GROUP. Last year, we witnessed the great response from our community and listening audience, as they donated hundreds of warm clothing items to benefit PROJECT WARMTH.”
“We’re excited about this year’s drive and our continued partnership with the NEGRO LEAGUES BASEBALL MUSEUM and the SALVATION ARMY. Together, we are making a difference in our community by collecting warm clothing items for those who need it most.”
NLBM Pres. BOB KENDRICK commented, “We can’t thank the CARTER BROADCAST GROUP enough for including the NEGRO LEAGUES BASEBALL MUSEUM to step up to the plate and go to bat for the community this holiday season.”
“This is a tremendous opportunity to help those in need. We hope this incredible gesture by the CARTER BROADCAST GROUP will motivate the KANSAS CITY community to donate gently used items to help support PROJECT WARMTH and the SALVATION ARMY.”
SALVATION ARMY KC Area Commander MAJOR XAVIER MONTENEGRO added, “For the second year, PROJECT WARMTH has partnered with our friends at KPRS and the NEGRO LEAGUES BASEBALL MUSEUM to collect coats and warm clothing items for those who need them. We are grateful for the generosity of folks who have donated and look forward to helping even more people this year.”
