67th Annual Kids Day Broadcast Event Raises nearly $18K for Christmas Cheer

The Grants Pass Broadcasting Corporation and Grants Pass Active Club staged another successful Kids Day event this morning.

According to an unofficial tally when the broadcast-a-thon ended at 11 a.m., a total of $17,808 was collected during the three-hour annual event.

The total represents generous donations made by individuals, families and local businesses plus an auction of several items including a Traeger grill package that sold for $2,000 and a Bo Nix-autographed Oregon Ducks football helmet that went for $1,550.

Proceeds from the 67th Annual Kids Day event will go to taking 174 local kids shopping to get Christmas presents for their families.

Thank you for participating in Kids Day -- we couldn't have done it without you!
