Community In the News

A group of Magnum Media radio stations in the La Crosse area supported a veterans event that raised $38,731 for Freedom Honor Flight.

The March to the Cross event held April 18 at Holmen Middle School was promoted on 102.7 WKBH, KICKS 106.3 WQCC, Mix 96.1 & 97.9 WLXR, and ALT 107.1 (WKBH).

“Your coverage, enthusiasm, and help spreading the word – especially about moving the walk indoors – played a huge role in the day’s turnout and success,” wrote Brian Clements from the March to the Cross Committee. “We truly could not have done this without your effort.”

The names of more than 90 veterans were carried to a large white cross in the center of the gym as part of the first-year event.
