Christmas for Kids Program

     Sherwood Marathon was the hot spot in Sherwood Ohio today as Charlie and Gang began there collection drive for the Christmas for Kids Program sponsored by 98.1 WDFM. The fundraiser started at 11 am with Charlie Speiser in her Santa suit and Dave Hire with a live radio feed from 98.1. They spent the next 3 hours collecting Toys and money donations from many local businesses, residents, and organizations.

    Ask Charlie this evening how they did today and she replied "Oh my, just wonderful, we had so many businesses and organizations dropping off donations it was just great. Sherwood Elementary dropped off more than $500 in donations collected at school, TC & Sons with a $100 donation and so many more" Charlie was so excited by the turn out, I actually found her short on words and that does not happen very often.
