Fan Fare Friday - June 25th
Don’t miss it! Each summer, 107.1 KGSR hosts a full day of free live music dedicated to raising fans and funds for Family Eldercare's Summer Fan Drive. This year, Fan Fare Friday will be on June 25th all day. Threadgill’s World Headquarters will again serve as the backdrop for the all day musical event.
Please join us for the 20th Annual Summer Fan Drive serving low-income elders, adults with disabilities and families with children. Family Eldercare’s Summer Fan Drive meets a critical basic need: relief from life-threatening heat for those who do not have or cannot afford a fan or air-conditioning. Funds raised during the Summer Fan Drive go to purchase fans and air conditioners for individuals and families who need help to beat the summer heat and to provide other critically-needed services. The Summer Fan Drive also provides an opportunity to identify other unmet basic needs these individuals have, such as food, housing or medical care, and connect them to community resources to address these needs. Each year, the Summer Fan Drive relies on the support of more than 250 volunteers and 40 plus community partners to ensure that thousands of requests are processed and fans are distributed promptly to individuals and families in need. Call 512-483-3557 for more information or visit www.familyeldercare.org.
Please remember to VOTE for Family Eldercare by this Friday which will enter our agency in the contest to win $10,000 for our programs!
