WTIC’s Gary Craig Makes Very Large Donation to A Turkey and Thirty

On his WTIC radio program this morning, Gary Craig presented a $15,000 check to Foodshare’s event coordinator, Jordan Nyberg, and director of communications Mark Cherrington, the result of his week-long promotion of Foodshare’s Turkey and Thirty campaign.

Gary contacted Foodshare before the beginning of the campaign and offered not only to promote the turkey and fund drive, but also to match any money contributions made through the station from his We Are The Children Foundation. By that formula, the amount of the check should have been a little more than $13,000, but Gary said he hated uneven numbers, so he rounded it up to $15,000. Foodshare is enormously grateful for his generosity and, of course for the generosity of people who donated through the station.
