These spots are normally provided to us through National organizations, but we also sponsor/support local events such as our 21th annual TOYFEAST, collecting non-perishable food items, toys and cash for the three area Salvation Armies serving our area. This year, during our live broadcast, we collected nearly $20,000 in cash donations, approximately 3,000 toys and bikes, and thousands of dollars worth of non-perishable food items to be distributed to those less fortunate people in Southeast Texas. We also run Coats and Kettles, collecting blankets, coats and sweaters for the Salvation Army to keep Southeast Texans warm during the winter months. We have the Golden Apple Educator Awards, honoring local teachers on THE MORNING SHOW. As sponsors of Lamar University, we appeal to children with Tailgate parties at the Conference at-home games, with giveaways promoting FOX primetime programs. Our Pay It Forward news segment honors local volunteers, including young people, who reach out to help our community. This year, we produced SOUNDS OF THE SEASON, featuring local elementary, middle school and high school choirs singing Christmas carols on Christmas Day. We also participate in the NAB Don't Drink and Drive roadblock, and run these PSAs throughout the holiday, and throughout the year. National PSAs aimed at children include bicycle safety, student aid, leukemia treatments, cell phone safety, anti-drunk driving campaign, children's advocacy spots like Autism Awareness and the National Children's Alliance, as well as the Gary Sinise Foundation, A Wonderful World Value, Shelter/Adopt a Pet, Special Athlete Values, Texas 8-1-1, It's the Law, Loyalty, Pass It On, Forgiveness Values, United Way NFL Play, Just Say Hi Values, Stop Texts Wrecks Afterlife, Keep America Beautiful, Stop Texts Stop Wrecks Unlucky, and Discover the Forest.
