Season of Giving, Christmas Wish Shatters Record

The 44th Annual WBKR Christmas Wish program was a challenging season to say the least. Faced with COVID restrictions and the need to keep everyone safe, the sheer amount of letters that flowed in every day, low income families struggling during this pandemic holiday season and fundraising efforts halted. Many challenges indeed, but as a community we persevered. Because of your efforts this season, 7,404 children received presents under the tree and a feast on the table. That's over 30,000 gifts delivered from Santa!

Now, as you continue celebrate the holiday season just know that many precious girls and boys in the tri-state woke up with presents under the tree because of YOUR generosity. Families with real struggles and need. Let's take a look back at this record shattering Christmas Wish season and pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
Stepping Up, We Thank the 2020 Christmas Wish Sponsors

Christmas Wish really came to life this year, in part, because of the Towne Square Mall. They generously gave us a big and wonderful space to operate out of. 100% of donations go directly to those in need, because of many local businesses like this, that help every single year. Thank you SO much to the team at the Towne Square Mall.
If you see any owners or employees of these businesses please say thank you on behalf of the community. They make Christmas Wish possible and we're so grateful!
