A group of radio stations in the Wausau-Stevens Point area is serving more than 650 disadvantaged children through “Christmas is for Children.”
Muzzy Broadcasting Group is in its 35th year of the program, which aims to help children have a special Christmas. Working in conjunction with community agencies, local groups, and hundreds of volunteers, children’s names were gathered, extensive lists were compiled, and gifts were purchased and distributed in time for Christmas morning.
Different from some toy drives, the local Christmas is for Children program focuses on providing specific gifts that children request, which often include living necessities. On an average year, a cumulative total of donated time for the program exceeds more than 1,000 hours.
All contributions stay local and go directly for gifts for children.
Muzzy Broadcasting Group, LLC owns and operates the following stations in Wausau and Stevens Point: B104.9-Country’s Greatest Hits (WCWB), WSPT 97.9- Wisconsin’s Greatest Hits, and True Oldies 92.1 and 1010 AM WPCN.
