KZFN-FM CRYSTAL RADIO presentation AWARDSa snapshot of our community efforts 2014 KZFN KZFN-FM KZFN SECTION ONE WORD COUNT: 191 At ZFun 106 (KZFN) our listeners are our friends, and more importantly, our neighbors. Any community, any neigh- borhood, will always have individuals and families who are in need, over- looked or in trouble. It is our pleasure to use our unique position to unite our neighbors in support of those in our community who are need of a helping hand. This year, we helped provide extra money for medical expenses for families in nearby communities. We helped put more than 40,000 pounds of food on local tables through the Palouse Cares Food Drive. We con- nected with Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse to provide help to victims of domestic or sexual abuse. Our diverse community extends way beyond city limits, into the rural coun- tryside and across the more than 25,000 students who attend the two universities in our towns. We are united to ensure we are all cared for and comfortable. After almost 30 years of broadcast- ing to and for our local communities, colleges and counties, ZFun 106 has very deep roots in our neighborhood and a long-term commitment to making our region a better place to work, learn, and live. 1 KZFN-FM KZFN SECTION TWO Morning Show Guests Zeppoz (Whitman County Humane Society/ Event: ‘Strikes For Scholarships’ bowling ZFun is proud to host the most popular Gritman Light-A-Candle Fund) tournament at Zeppoz morning show on the Palouse, The Rude Awakening.
