Mix 97 One, Q country 107.3, ESPN Radio 1410AM and the North Platte Post had a Community Day the Dr. Seuss Way event this past weekend, a fundraiser for the North Platte Public School Foundation.
On Saturday, March 5th the Saturday after Read Across America week was celebrated in the North Platte Public Schools Eagle Radio celebrated as a community to encourage reading and fun for families.
“We had multiple sponsor booths, Nebraskaland National Bank was grilling hotdogs for a free will donation, a Dr. Seuss movie was provided along with popcorn from H&R Block and the Pop Corner, and reading was provided by Bible Supplies,” says Olivia Brown, sales manager at Eagle Radio.
“It’s important to support our community that we live in and host fun events for families,” Brown added.
The Day was a huge success with almost 400 kids in attendance and plenty of money raised for the public school foundation.
After the event, the funds were gathered from our sponsors, as well as from donation jars set up around the McKinley Education Center and a check was presented Thursday afternoon at the McKinley Education center.
“We were so happy to be able to provide the foundation with a check for $1,555.00 to help with programs under the foundation,” said Brown.
The check was presented to Board President, Laura Troshynski as well as other board members present.
