Brent and Penny’s Adopt a Family

Our friends over at Rawlco Radio are online with the information for this year’s Brent and Penny’s Adopt-a-Family

adoptafamilyLong time Morning Team Brent Loucks and Penney Murphy created the Adopt A Family program in 1988- bringing businesses, communities, families and individuals together to help less fortunate Saskatoon and area families.  

The growth of the program in twenty one years has been astounding! $5000 was raised in 1988 and over $100,000 in cash, food and gifts was raised in 2008.  More than 400 families, including 1300 children, received gifts and a wonderful meal for Christmas.  There are many incredible examples of children who received gifts through the Adopt A Family program, and were so emotionally impacted by the random act of kindness, that as adults have chosen to help another local family.

We are thankful for our partnership with Rawlco Radio through the Brent & Penny Adopt-a-Family  and Rock 102’s Toy Soldier campaign as we work with the citizens of Saskatoon to ensure everyone has a Merry Christmas.
