Roof Sit Raises Money for Whaley

Today, July 15 at 6am, Pat and AJ from Cars 108 morning show and Mindy Williams, President/CEO of Whaley Children’s Center, began living on the roof of the Downtown Grand Blanc McDonald’s to kick off the fifth annual Cars 108 Roof Sit. They will remain on the roof until Friday, July 17 at 10am to help raise funds for the children at Whaley Children’s Center.

Whaley Children’s Center provides shelter, hope and healing to nearly 90 children each year who are survivors of severe abuse and neglect. Each year Whaley must raise 20 percent of its budget through private donors and fundraising efforts. Due to the impact of COVID-19, many opportunities for fundraising events have been lost. Now more than ever, the Center needs the help of the community. Every donation continues to provide a safe and happy childhood for the children of Whaley.

Donations can be made at the onsite drive-thru. Onsite collections will be done with safe health measures in place by the Cars 108 and Whaley staff.

Community to the CoreFor generations, Almar Orchards has grown more than apples — it has grown family traditions, community connections and memories

Everyone has roots. Traditions, communities and families connect us to time, place and one another. They stabilize us and offer comfort. Autumn reminds us of this every year through sweet treats, warm drinks and looking inward toward one another as the world seems to slow down. Almar Orchards is much the same. From its organic
