Kudos to Entercom's KEZW in Colorado

5-29-2012
Thanks to KEZW-AM in Denver and with the help of listeners, veterans and the local community the station hit its goal and raised $400,000 for the Colorado Freedom Memorial Foundation that was needed to break ground and to complete the project. The City of Aurora donated the land for the Memorial as part of Springhill Park, directly north of Buckley Air Force Base. For the entire month of May KEZW honored fallen soldiers during Freedom Month and raised awareness for the Colorado Freedom Memorial which once built will be a glass wall, etched with more than 6,000 Colorado veteran names.

KEZW PD Rick Crandall said, "This was the realization of 12-years of dreaming, planning, praying and never letting go of the idea a Memorial to Colorado?s fallen veterans was a good thing.  It?s been great seeing how many people are excited about this dream becoming a reality and I most happy for the families of the fallen who will now have a place to go and see our gratitude for their sacrifice.?

The veteran?s etched on the wall will include all Colorado veterans who have been killed in action including 102 in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Once complete the Memorial will give a place to remember and pay respect to those service men and women who gave their lives.

To learn more about the Memorial please go to http://www.cfmf.net/.

Colorado Cumulus Cluster Prepares Families For Winter

Six Colorado Cumulus stations (KATC-FM, KCSF-AM, KKFM-FM, KKMG-FM, KKPK-FM and KVOR-AM) teamed up with community leaders for ?Operation Warm-up?.  The five-hour event enabled listeners to help provide new and gently used coats, gloves, scarves, and hats for neighbors in need. Morning shows broadcast live from the parking lot of the new Freedom Financial Expo Center, as hundreds of listeners drove in contributing thousands of items including coats, hats, gloves, mittens, boots and much needed winter garments.

The items, as well as cash donations are being used to support a Department of Human Services distribution event in December. Cumulus Broadcasting Community Officer Gina Kavali said, ?More than 10% of our community is on some sort of living assistance provided by the DHS, it just made sense to act and take care of our neighbors right here, right now.  We were honored and humbled when we saw the outpouring of generosity from our listeners throughout Southern Colorado.?   

What are you doing to serve your community? We want to know about it, it doesn't matter how big or how small your market is.
