104.1 The Blaze and Kamp Out for Kids

Every year (well, for the last 15 years) Tim & The Animal from The Blaze have had a 30 hour camp out to raise money for presents for less fortunate kids. This year was no different and I'm happy to report that they raised about $42,000 (without counting the proceeds from the concert on Tuesday which should put the total to around $50,000).

And, for the 15th year, the Lincoln newspaper has NOT reported on this. These guys have raised probably somewhere in the neighborhood of half a million dollars to buy toys for kids. Assuming $30 per toy, that's over 16,000 toys. Add in the toys that are donated directly, and I'll bet there have been over 25,000 toys made available to needy kids over the last 15 years. If that's not something to be reported, then I don't know what the hell is.
