| Raise the Roof! |
| Kick-off this Wednesday, 3/14 Illini Radio Group partners with Habitat for Humanity On March 14, four stations of Illini Radio Group, Mix 94.5, WIXY 100.3, 92.5 The Chief and Xtra 99.1 will be launching their "Raise the Roof" campaign to collect funds for two Habitat homes that will be built simultaneously at 507 and 509 East Bradley in Champaign. Illini Radio Group is partnering with Thrivent Builds Homes, a financial service agency for Lutherans, to start the homes this spring.  Through their listener audience, Illini Radio Group has committed to raising $35,000 for the homes. When approached about sponsoring the homes, Illini Radio Group jumped at the chance. "It is important for people to know what they are giving to and who it helps. Habitat home building projects have a clear outcome. We will be helping two families get out of poverty and start a new life with a bright future," said Alan Beck, Illini Radio Group Vice President and General Manager, "There's just not a more tangible result than that." One of the two families that are slated to purchase the homes has already been selected. Zina Allen, a single mother of two cares for her teenage daughter in their two-bedroom apartment. As needed, Ms. Allen looks after her other daughter who suffers from MS and her twin grandchildren. By the end of summer, the twins will have room to play and Ms. Allen will have a home of her own. Help Raise the Roof! Click here to donate or call our donation hotline, 217-531-3535. |
