7&4 News and ABC 29&8 viewers pitched in to make a recent Red Cross fundraiser a huge success!

Thursday a phone bank was set up at our television studio.  The Red Cross Disaster Relief fundraiser was held from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM and raised an amazing $13,930! 

Officials with the Red Cross Northwest Chapter were ecstatic with the overwhelming viewer response!

"We are extremely pleased with how much we were able to raise and we got to talk to some really great people as well," said Kevin Bavers, Executive Director of the Red Cross Northwest Chapter.

Thanks to everyone who took part in donating to this relief effort.  If you would still like to help you can find out more information by CLICKING HERE.
