KABG-FM/BIG 98.5, KAGM- FM/Power 106.7, KARS/AREA 102.9, KDLW/Z106.3 and KLVO/Radio Lobo 97/7/94.7 have been on the air since last week encouraging listeners to join them for an all-day live broadcast and donation drive on Friday, December 6, 2013 at Smith's Food & Drug Store at 3701 Constitution Ave. NE (Corner of Carlisle Blvd. and Constitution Ave.) from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Listeners are being asked to help with donations ranging from non-perishable food items to everyday hygiene products to blankets and jackets. All items collected will then be donated to Joy Junction, a non-profit organization that assists homeless men, women, children and families in the Albuquerque area. Joy Junction is a faith-based charitable organization that serves up to 300 people a night, including up to as many as 80 children and serves nearly 200,000 meals annually. Because Joy Junction is a donation-only charitable organization, they receive no government funding and rely solely on the generosity of others to serve those who need their services. This is the first of two all-day live broadcasts benefiting a charitable organization that the AGM family of radio stations will conduct. During this live broadcast, photo/video and interview opportunities with both representatives of AGM radio stations as well as representatives of Joy Junction will be available. Please find a complete list of donation requests attached and feel free to reach out to Matt Rader, Director of Marketing & Promotions for any questions you may have regarding the charity drive or this release.
