Thursday’s Radiothon on K99.3 WKVI for the Cheryl Lyn Welter Family Charitable Foundation gathered thousands of dollars to help underprivileged children in area schools.
The six-hour event collected donations from over 100 people that totaled over $30,000. That final tally may grow as donations keep coming in. The funds will help in awarding over 15 grants in September from the Cheryl Lyn Welter Family Charitable Foundation.
The Cheryl Lyn Welter Family Charitable Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that strives to change the lives of underprivileged kids in local rural schools. Teachers may apply for grants to help students in giving them the chance to go on field trips, receive school supplies, go home with books to read, and other needs to assist children.
To date, over $60,000 has been distributed to help students since the Foundation began taking donations in 2017.
Donations are always accepted by texting CHERYL to 71777.
