Thunder-Thompson Dollars for Haiti Radiothon to Benefit Earthquake Victims
January 18, 2010 by The Catskill Chronicle
SULLIVAN COUNTY – Thunder 102, Sullivan County’s home for Country music, and the Town of Thompson have teamed up to sponsor the Thunder-Thompson Dollars for Haiti Radiothon to aide recent earthquake victims in the Caribbean republic.
On Thursday, Jan. 21, Thunder 102 will broadcast the Thunder-Thompson Dollars for Haiti Radiothon live from Crystal Run Healthcare in Rock Hill, N.Y. from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. The event will raise funds for victims of the catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that shook the Republic of Haiti on Tuesday, Jan 12.
Thunder 102 and the Town of Thompson are asking residents across the Hudson Valley and Catskills to show their support for the cause. According to the International Red Cross, over 3 million people were affected by the natural disaster and further reports have indicated the death toll could reach one hundred thousand.
“The night it happened I was sitting in my warm house, eating a hot meal, and watching television when it hit me- these people don’t have these luxuries,” said Town of Thompson Supervisor Anthony Cellini. “Deputy Administrator George Cooke called me a few minutes later, and it was then we both realized we had to help.”
Thunder 102 morning show host Paul Ciliberto added, “Tony called and asked us to help with this fundraising effort and we want to do all we can to get the word out. In the past, we have experienced a great response in similar situations and we’re optimistic that our ThunderHeads and everyone in Thunder Country will once again answer the call.”
Ciliberto will kick off the event with Cellini and Cooke during the morning show, Ciliberto & Friends, and the radiothon will continue throughout the day with Sakell in the Afternoon, hosted by Mike Sakell. The event will run into the evening hours.
Thunder 102 and the Town of Thompson are also calling on businesses and nonprofit organizations to become involved in the event by becoming guests on the show. Interested parties can contact Anthony Cellini at (845) 794-2500.
Additional donations can be mailed to Thompson Town Hall, c/o Thunder-Thompson Dollars for Haiti Radiothon, 4052 Route 42, Monticello, N.Y. 12701. For daily event updates and further information, please visit www.thunder102.com.
