Edmonton’s Country Radio Station Partners with Hope Mission

For Immediate Release

EDMONTON, October 3, 2016 – CISN Country 103.9 is proud to broadcast Yards for Hope, this year’s radiothon in support of Hope Mission, an organization dedicated to helping the hungry and homeless. Collectively, over the last decade, the annual radiothon has raised close to a million dollars.

Kicking off on Tuesday, October 4th at 4 p.m., the award-winning radio station will broadcast from The Brick Field at Commonwealth. Starting at one end zone of the football field, the live broadcast will move one yard for every thousand dollars donated.
