Las Vegas Radio: Record Year For KLUC Toy Drive

KLUC 98.5 FM’s 18th Annual Chet Buchanan & the Morning Zoo Toy Drive, presented by The Venetian and Sands Cares, ended the year with another record setting year of donations. The 12-day event filled (30) 50-foot trailers with new toys, along with 6,700 bikes and $442,669 in cash and gift cards.

The December 1 – 12 event benefited HELP of Southern Nevada, a nonprofit organization that assists less fortunate families during the holiday season. They will help over 3,000 families along with 65 other nonprofit organizations in southern Nevada to ensure that as many families as possible have gifts to unwrap this holiday season.

 "98.5 KLUC’s Chet Buchanan & the Morning Zoo Toy Drive would have not be this successful without the support from the Las Vegas community, along with the dozens of businesses and celebrities that contribute to this event year after year,” said CBS Radio Las Vegas Senior Vice President and Market Manager Tony Perlongo.

“The KLUC Toy Drive has become an annual tradition for local families and companies, and will continue to be a part of the Las Vegas holiday tradition for years to come.”
