As most of our readers are aware from the last issue of our newsletter, our firm was honored to participate in Share the Warmth, a coat drive sponsored by two local radio stations, JQ99 and 1260 The Pledge.
During the months of January and February our firm helped collect coats, hats, gloves, mittens, and blankets for distribution to people in need. Our office served as an official donation site where our clients, our neighbors and the radio stations’ listeners could drop off their donated items which were then distributed to individuals and families in Muskegon, Ottawa, Kent and Allegan counties. In addition, JQ99 broadcasted live from our office on Tuesday evening, January 19th. JQ99’s morning show personalities, Chris and Emilee, were on hand to accept donations, share refreshments and visit with the dozens of donors who stopped by. (And are they ever popular!)
Everyone who donated a coat or a blanket during the live broadcast that Tuesday evening was entered into a drawing to win a full Estate Plan, a $1,500 value, courtesy of our firm. The lucky winners were Kenneth & Mary Jo Kruh from Jenison.
It was a great evening and we were happy to be a part of a wonderful project. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and made a donation! We look forward to next year!
