charity

I like this idea, it’s real multitasking...  a haunted car wash has opened in Muskegon.  Think about it, you get your scare on while washing the car -and you help charity; win-win-win! It’s happening at Van’s Car Wash on Apple Avenue...

This September 11th will mark the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and is the largest annual day of charitable engagement in the US. Millions of people observe the day with acts to help others. One great way to help is to either volunteer helping the American Red Cross, or donate blood, or both!

A Michigan-based charity, which claimed to be giving support to firefighters and victims of fire, passed along less than 10 percent of donations received. They did not offer any food, shelter, or clothing to families burned out of their homes. The charity has agreed to cease operations.

Today on Segment 16, the guys talk with Kevin from the Garage Bar about the Garage Bar Block Parties that kick off tonight with WGRD! Every Wednesday throughout the summer, we'll be partying downtown at the Garage Bar! Drinks, food, live music, cars, motorcycles...it'll be a blast!

The guys cover a lot of ground on today's Segment 16. A Wyoming man in desperate need of transportation after getting ripped off. Joe attempting to educate Justin on the Edmund Fitzgerald. Hot Wings being REALLY late to work today. Do the Great Lakes actually freeze over completely. Can Hot Wings actually see the facial expressions on the back of Free Beer's head?

Today on Segment 16, the guys talk with Jamie, Nick, and Carly from Bid for Bachelors and Bachelorettes, the charity event happening this Saturday at the JW Marriott. If you win the bid on any of the attractive people on the day, you not only get the date, but also all the cool stuff in their "date package".

The guys are excited for their Carite appearance coming up this Saturday! They'e celebrating the trip to Kalamazoo, where they're all going together! This is the first time they'll all be out together, except for the live shows. Should they get a commission for selling cars while they're there?

Today's Free Beer and Hot Wings Segment 16 covers a new phone scam discovered by WZZM, where someone pretends to work for Consumer's Energy and threatens to turn off your business' power if you don't pay then over the phone immediately! They've collected some money already, and Consumers wants you to know that they don't do that!

We here at 97.9 GRD want to say thank you to our enlisted men and women, and their families, in West Michigan who sacrifice so much for all of us all year long. Now through Veterans Day - November 11th - we’re supporting “Townsquare Cares for Military Families.”

Johnny Depp continues to show everyone he's a cool dude, and now he's on stage rocking with KISS, Extreme, and GNR guys to help raise money to get children corrective surgeries! They performed in Hollywood on Sunday night to raise money for Mending Kids, that helps provide corrective surgeries for kids with heart defects, cranial deformities, severe scoliosis, and more. That kicks a LOT of ass! Re

Arnold Schwarzenegger jumped back into playing one of his best known roles recently: The Terminator. Is there a Terminator 6 in the works already? I mean probably, but this time he got in full T-800 gear to bring awareness to his charity After-School All-Stars. Schwarzenegger strutted around Hollywood as the famous half-man half-machine in leather pranking fans.

Remember the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? Of course you do. All summer long, everyone you knew was dumping buckets of cold water on themselves to raise awareness and money for ALS. Millions of dollars were raised. This idiot decided to try and cash in on the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge, but with one noticeable difference: He replaced the cold water with hot water.
