 Hawkeye and Michelle Feed The City |
Cumulus Media's KSCS-FM (New Country 96.3)/Dallas partnered with Tango Charities to host a series of events called "Hawkeye and Michelle Feed The City -- Making Meals for People in Need," which created 22,659 meals for the hungry in Dallas-Fort Worth during the month of June. The station announced the partnership on May 31, asking listeners to volunteer and provide bread, lunch meat, mustard, chips, tangerines and ziplock bags to help make meals for DFW food pantries.
If listeners signed up on the New Country 96.3 website and showed up at their designated volunteer event, they received two tickets to the station's upcoming Private Show with Dan + Shay at Legacy Hall. The only way to get these tickets was to volunteer, as they are not available for sale.
New Country 96.3 kicked off the series of volunteer events on Saturday, June 3 at Chili's Grill & Bar in Prosper, TX. The second event was held on Saturday, June 10 at BoomerJack's Grill in Bedford, TX, followed by an event on Saturday, June 17 at Concrete Cowboy in Fort Worth. New Country 96.3 then announced a Pop-Up Feed the City Event at HERO by HG in Downtown Dallas on Wednesday, June 21. Through these four events, the station and its listeners helped make 22,659 meals for Tango Charities.
Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay said, "It's going to be fun and we're going to have a blast. We are excited to be a part of this great cause."
"Hawkeye in the Morning" co-host Michelle Rodriguez added, "When we first started talking about this idea, we never imagined the impact it would have on everyone involved. We got to hear stories that have inspired entire families to get involved with our great partner Tango Charities for years to come. We were blown away by our listeners, an extension of our family. They showed up ready to help out those in need."
Morning co-host Mark 'Hawkeye' Louis said, "We've heard multiple stories from teachers about students who purposely flunk at the end of the year so they can get into summer school and be part of the summer school lunch program. It really illustrates the need in our community."
