Announcers from 99.9 The Bay and Country 105 were on the air from 6am Thursday morning to 6pm Friday evening raising money for the Christmas hamper program.
An exciting power hour on Friday morning with Impala Canada helped boost a big day Friday with a staggering $18,580 raised in one hour, of which $7,000 was contributed by Impala.
