Meeting needs in Johnson County, Indiana
August 22, 2010 by Kristen
Kristen is rumored to have disappeared after a trip to the State Fair – perhaps after sampling deep fried butter. But Jeff and Mike soldier on to deliver quality news you can use. Mike updates us with the finale of that story from the U.K. of the bandmaster’s fundraising trip (photo at left). Jonathan raised over 2,000 pounds during his trip – that’s about $3,085! And Jeff wraps up the news with a story about the Indianapolis Colts’ $5,000 donation to our Anderson Corps at the end of training camp.
In this episode, we talk to Jeanine McGaha and Captain Daniel Ortman of the Johnson County Salvation Army. They share about the great increase in need in Greenwood as well as the dwindling resources in their food pantry. Listen here.
Huntington Bank sends kids to school with tools to succeed
August 15, 2010 by Kristen
Back-to-school is today’s topic, so the team welcomes Huntington Bank’s Brent Frymeier to talk about the Backpack Index and their generous donation for IPS schoolchildren in need. This past week, Huntington Bank donated 1,000 backpacks to The Salvation Army on behalf of Indianapolis Public School children across the city. The donation is part of a 30,000 backpack donation throughout Huntington’s six-state service area. Huntington knows how much of a financial strain school supplies can put on a family - about $474 for elementary school. So these backpacks will go along way in helping kids start the year off right!
But, this isn’t the only way Huntington helps out in our community. Listen here.
Georgette Winkle talks Doughnut Girls, Planned Giving
August 8, 2010 by Kristen
Mike brings us a great story about a Salvation Army brass bandmaster who’s riding and playing across the UK to benefit charity. As promised, here’s the link to his journey. Kristen shares about Huntington Bank’s backpack donation for Indy schoolchildren in need. And Jeff wraps it up with an EDS story out of Texas. Then we welcome this week’s guest, our friend, Georgette Winkle from our Planned Giving team. Georgette visits the show to talk about her work as a modern-day Salvation Army Doughnut Girl (pictured to the left with Cupee and JoAnn Remender), the amazing generosity of Laura Lewis, and the upcoming Roy Adams estate planning seminar.

Grab those clubs, it’s time for Golf 4 Giving
August 1, 2010 by Kristen
Mike and Kristen are steering the ship alone this morning, sharing tales of news you can use. Then they welcome Nan Evanga of The Salvation Army’s Women’s Auxiliary and we get down to business talking about getting involved and helping those in need. Nan shares with us that the ladies have already made about 1,000 hats for the upcoming Coats for Kids distribution this Fall. But their major contribution to those in need is a fun event called Golf 4 Giving. Each August they host a golf outing, this year at the Golf Club of Indiana (this year on August 25th), that raises funds for various programs through The Salvation Army. This year’s emcee is WISH TV-8′s Scott Sander. Nan goes on to share about sponsors and how to sign up and participate. Listen here and be sure to check out their website to participate.
