The Live United Radiothon took place on Friday morning on Mix 98.3 WPKO, bringing together local organizations and the Logan County community to raise funds for important programs that support individuals and families in need.
United Way of Logan County’s Director, Dave Bezusko, hosted the event, which featured a group of beneficiaries from various organizations that provide essential services throughout the county.
Among the featured guests were representatives from Peak of Hope Homeless Shelter, Harwood Initiative, Lutheran Community Service, Discovery Riders, Warm Clothes for Kids, Recovery Zone, Green Hills Community, Habitat for Humanity, TCN/Soteria House Domestic Violence Shelter, and Journey Living Ministries.
These organizations rely on community support to help meet the needs of the area’s most vulnerable populations, and the Radiothon serves as an important fundraising tool to continue their efforts.
