WE CARE STORY

"We Care" began in Scott County in 1990. It has been modeled after another radio program called "We Care" in Kokomo, Indiana which has been on the air since 1973. The basic idea is to get donated items from individuals, businesses and civic organizations and auction them to listeners during a live broadcast. All the proceeds are used to buy clothing for the children of Scott County. In 1990 "We Care" was broadcast for 11 hours and produced $14,400.00. That was enough to help 303 children in Scott County ($50.00 per child)

"We Care" raises money through a variety of means, but primarily through a radiothon/auction broadcast live on I 105.3 WMPI in Scottsburg, Indiana. All money raised is used to purchase clothing for the needy children in Scott County.

WE CARE RAISES MONEY THROUGH A VARIETY OF MEANS, BUT PRIMARILY THROUGH A RADIOTHON/AUCTION BROADCAST LIVE ON I105.3. WMPI IN SCOTTSBURG, INDIANA. ALL MONIES ARE THEN USED TO PURCHASE CLOTHING FOR NEEDY CHILDREN IN SCOTT COUNTY, INDIANA. ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT WE CARE IS THAT ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY IS TAKEN OUT OT THE FUNDS RAISED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FEES, PRODUCTION FEES, OR AIR TIME. EVERY PENNY RAISED GOES DIRECTLY AND ENTIRELY TO BUYING NEEDED WARM CLOTHING FOR THE CHILDREN. IT IS TRULY A CHARITABLE EVENT.
