Child Abuse Prevention Month: Support Tennyson Center for Children


KOOL 105 (KXKL‐FM) will host the inaugural “For the Love of a Child” radiothon tomorrow to benefit Tennyson Center for Children (TCC) in conjunction with Child Abuse Prevention Month. The live, on‐air 12‐hour event will take place on Wednesday, April 25 from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to help raise much‐needed funds to support the programs and services offered at Tennyson Center and to aid in the fight against child abuse and neglect in Colorado.

Tennyson Center has also been lauded for its work with GLBT youth who have suffered from abuse and neglect and has been instrumental in the treatment and successful fostering of several adolescents who were abused and even disowned by their families because of their sexual or gender orientation issues.

“We know this is a tough economy right now,” said Dave Sevick (pictured), Tennyson Marketing and Communications Director. “But the number of child deaths from abuse over the past year have skyrocketed right here in Colorado and this is a chance for the community to step up and say ‘ENOUGH!’ and to make a powerful impact upon the lives of so many innocent kids. “

You can donate to Tennyson Center at www.childabuse.org or make a quick $10 donation on your cell phone by texting the word CHILD to 50555.
