A Record Shattering $1,143,190!

Dom and Jane and the Mix 100 crew have been blessing us with their annual Dom and Jane Charity Marathon for 13 years running.  The total of money pledged through this 2 day radioathon grows every year.  And we're ecstatic to report that the trend continued this year...an unbelievable amount!  13 years ago, we never would have imagined raising over one million dollars  - but that happened!  And then some! 

Between Mix 100 listeners and generous FBR corporate partners, $1,143,190 was raised, providing 4,572,760 meals to our neighbors in need.  We're still floating with excitement at the thought of how great an impact this Charity Marathon will make in our community. 

Not only is this event a blast for everyone involved, it leaves a lasting impact throughout the year.  THANKS to Dom, Jane, Jeremy, Kaylee, $100,00 match donor,Salah Foundation, volunteers, donors and all those involved in making this year's Charity Marathon a raging success!
