THANK YOU ALL !

It was a great challenge. Donations are still coming. It's 10:10 PM. We are announcing our total number.

Dick Purtan Radiothon 2008 raised 2,310,070. Thanks to everybody. Great job, Metro Detroit !!!

Keep making your donations !!!

It's getting hot here. We need your donations to reach the goal. Phones are ringing, on-line donations are coming. We are hoping to reach the goal. Keep donating, people !!!

Every dollar goes to Bed and Bread Club

We need $100,000 more to make our goal.

“We have been overwhelmed by the enormous support we have seen from not only WOMC and Dick Purtan, but also the entire southeast Michigan community throughout the 20 years of this radiothon,” said Major Norman Marshall, divisional commander of The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division. “From its humble beginnings, this radiothon has exceeded all of our expectations. It is our hope that together, we can make this the most successful radiothon to date.”

Let's cheer one more time for Dick Purtan !!!

After more than 15 hours Dick Purtan Radiothon is close to reach the goal. We need your donations to match another $100,000 gift from Matilda Wilson Foundation. Please call or click to help Dick !!!

They need our help now.

Take time to speak with a few homeless people and one thing becomes obvious: there's no single path that leads to life on the streets.

Some become homeless after losing a job. Others are reduced to this existence after drugs and gambling have stolen every last dollar and all of their self-worth.

Confused, hopeless and desperate, The Salvation Army helps these individuals put the pieces of their lives back together. Our total for 9:00 is $2,055,870.

2 million!!!

Congratulations! The Matilda Wilson Fund gift was matched. With your donations we just hit the 2 million dollar mark.

Thank you to Panasonic for your generous donation!
