| In true Manitoba fashion, we all came together as a group or as a community or better yet, as a family to vote for a cause that really matters, feeding the hungry babies of Winnipeg.
CJOB 68, Power 97 and 99.1 Fresh FM are proud to continue their support to Hunger for Hope through Winnipeg Harvest for another great year! Since 2007, the three Corus Radio Winnipeg stations (with the help of their loyal and generous listeners) have raised nearly $1,000,000 for Hunger for Hope - because no child should go to bed hungry!
In March 2012, the Order Sons of Italy Garibaldi Lodge Winnipeg graciously donated $100,000 to the cause at their Sons of Italy Gala sponsored by Royal Bank. We sincerely appreciate their generosity and respect the great work that they continue to do in our community! |
