Last Saturday, WTMX 101.9 The Mix staff and listeners volunteered at the annual Chicago River Day in partnership with The Friends of the Chicago River. The goal was to help restore wildlife and keep the river pristine ahead of the start of the summer.

The month-long campaign, fronted by Morning Mix Traffic Reporter Violeta Podrumedic, asked listeners to Volunteer with Violeta at LaBagh Woods, just one of 87 sites throughout the Chicago River system. In total, over 2,000 volunteers pitched in to remove garbage and invasive plant material to help in the restoration process of the 156 miles that make up the Chicago River System.

Mix 100.3 Vice President of Brand and Content Jimmy Steal commented, "We're happy to be a part of this important initiative where the power of local radio, coupled with our amazing staff and listeners, come together to help make a difference in our community."
