Hall Communications' WKOL-FM (KOOL 105)/Burlington-Plattsburgh) announces that 2019's fundraising drive for Camp Ta-Kum-Ta set a new record. The 5-day morning drive radio-thon raised $203,881.65 to send children in Vermont and New York to summer camp. WKOL personalities Jon Brooks and Mark Knight anchored from KOOL 105's South Burlington, VT studios, with volunteers answering phones and taking pledges.

"KOOL 105 listeners have adopted Camp Ta-Kum-Ta as their own," said Hall Communications Executive VP/General Manager Dan Dubonnet. For 21 years, our December motto has been It's Kool To Send A Kid To Camp TaKumTa and our listeners have responded. This year, they set a new record."

The money raised by WKOL ensures 75 children with cancer will attend summer camp at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta in 2020 at no cost to the families.
