Q91 Turk-a-thon raises money for Salvation Army Christmas Hampers

Q91 Turk athon

Q91 Country’s Account Manager Sharel Shoff had an idea in order to help the Drumheller Salvation Army. The idea was to raise funds to purchase turkeys  for the Christmas Hampers to help families in need.  Through a complete team effort at the radio station, they raised $1,925 for turkeys and $500 for the Christmas Kettle program. $1,925 will purchase approximately 80 turkeys. Captain Jennifer Hillier said,“Last year 87 Christmas Hampers were given  to families and this year we have 118 to do and we are still receiving phone call requests. She said, “Thank you very much to Q91, Rosedale Concrete and all of their listeners for their donations.” Rosedale Concrete owner Rod Dyck  was their major Turk-a-thon donor in the amount of  $1,000. Captain Jennifer Hillier also mentioned that they have a website for donations, just go to: fillthekettle.com, select Donate, click on search city, select Drumheller and the rest is fill in the blanks.  If you don’t select Drumheller, the funds will go directly to the Salvation Army Head Office.
