911 gives hope

For the ninth straight year, we're asking you to help us fill a 53-foot trailer full of toys for kids spending the holiday's in Tri-State hospitals.

Once again, United Fidelity Bank is giving you the chance to help fill a 53-foot trailer full of toys for just a dollar!

Our annual 911 Gives Hope for the Holiday's Toy Drive is coming up December 2nd through the 4th at the east side Walmart in Evansville, and our friends at United Fidelity Bank are looking for you to help us fill the 53-foot trailer full of toys for kids spending Christmas in area hospitals by purchasing a paper Santa hat for $1.00 each.

Coming up on Saturday July 9th, hop on your bike for a great cause!

The crew at Evansville-based Concept Sound and Light (the men and women responsible bringing Guns and Hoses to life with, well, sound and lights) post a time-lapse video condensing Saturday's three-and-a-half-hour Guns and Hoses event, including setup and tear down, into just over three minutes.

Mickey Phernetton, the 19-year-old daughter of 911 Gives Hope founder, Evansville Police Officer Patrick Phernetton, shared a special moment with one of the biggest artists in the history of music Friday night before his sold-out show at the KFC YUM! Center in Louisville.

All the great ring announcers have a catchphrase they're known for, so it only makes since for me to try and come up with my own ahead of Guns and Hoses IV.

Before the fighters step into the ring on April 9th for Guns and Hoses 9, they'll have to step on the scale at Show Me's East Friday Night.

Over the weekend, a few of my co-workers around the station and I got together at the annual Home Show to participate in the first annual Building Hope Playhouse Build. The task was to build a playhouse over two days that would be auctioned off to raise money for 911 Gives Hope.

We wanted to extend a thank you to Pet Smart, for donating brand new toys to 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays! We just picked up pallets and pallets of adorable, lovable, stuffed furry friends that will be given to pediatric patients at five local facilities this year!

Every year, Santa visits 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays. Okay, we aren't talking the fakey Santa that stuffs his belly with a pillow. No, we are talking the real, Old Saint Nicholas; Father Christmas; Papai Noel.

The boxing gloves are coming off, and the hockey gloves are going on as the men and women of 911 Gives Hope hit the ice to raise money for their worthy cause.
