Remember Vicki with Bears for Children
Laura Taylor about over 3 years ago
At this year's Tropical Heatwave, we invite you to "Turn On Your Love Light" For Vicki Santa and Local Children’s Hospitals.
We will be collecting stuffed bears in memory of Vicki Santa, our beloved former station manager who passed away last December
We encourage you to bring your teddy bear(s) to Heatwave and drop them off with our volunteers on the 2nd floor landing, where we will be commemorating some of WMNF’s Shining Stars.
If you are not planning to attend Heatwave, you can STILL participate, by dropping off your bear(s) at the station… 1210 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, during business hours or by calling 813-238-8001.
Collected Bears will be on display at Heatwave,
So be sure to stop by the 2nd floor landing to marvel at the various ways to share the displays of love during the evening.
And after the event, we will be Sharing The Love Light by distributing the bears to local Hospitals like Shriner’s of Tampa and St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital.
As always, we appreciate your involvement in one of Tampa’s VERY Best Music Events.
WMNF’s Tropical Heatwave, Saturday, May 16th , 2009.

We all know that the magic of the dancing bears is a big part of The Freak Show energy cycle on Tuesdays. So now we are looking to share that love and energy even more with those less fortunate that could use a bear hug, smile and that lovelight shining ever so brightly !!! Please help !!!

Do they need to be stuffed bears or will any stuffed animal do?

Any stuffed and dressed animals will be fine as long as they are new or gently used. They will be shared with local childrens's hospitals after Heatwave.Ditto Marv.... I took that photo, it was Great to see you at the Obama Rally.

What a terrific way to honor a great lady and put a smile on a child's face. It makes me even more proud to be a listener supporter.

I am covering the Teddy Bear drive for the first shift at Heatwave. It is an honor...Vicki was a personal hero of mine, and what a way to celebrate her memory!
