The WKVI staff raised more than $230 for World Hunger Relief, thanks to the generosity of Knox Pizza Hut patrons.
General manager Lenny Dessauer, morning show host Tom Berg, news director Mary Perren and sales associates Kay Gudeman and Bridget Markin waited tables last night as part of a charity tip night fundraiser. All of the tips given between 4 and 8 p.m. will be donated to charity. The Pizza Hut waitresses who assisted were paid a training wage during that time.
This was the third year the WKVI staff has taken part in the effort. “We’re a community radio station, and we feel like it’s important for us to give back,” Dessauer said.
