RADIO ONLINE | Monday, November 30, 2020 |
Beasley Media Group's Classic Rock WMGK-FM/Philadelphia's legendary morning personality John DeBella has announced a recording breaking grand total for this year's John DeBella Turkey Drop: 12,509 turkeys. The annual event is the largest one-day food gathering event in Philadelphia. On Tuesday, November 24, DeBella aired live from The Kimmel Center. In addition, the entire WMGK air staff lent a helping hand from 12 additional sites across the tri-state area. The turkeys will be given out to needy individuals and families throughout the holiday season.
"11,000 turkeys in 2019 was the biggest year we ever had," said DeBella. "12,509 turkeys truly proves that ‘The City of Brotherly Love' is not just a saying...it's a fact."
The Turkey Drop benefits Cityteam Philadelphia, a local non-profit organization that provides holiday meals as well as other important services for individuals and families in need. Cityteam has seen a record number of sign-ups for holiday meals in 2020, including a large percentage of families seeking assistance for the very first time.
