Christmas Laughs for Kids at RAK Brewing 🎄Before the big Christmas Cash for Kids Radiothon hits the airwaves in December, we’re kicking things off with a night full of laughter, community, and holiday cheer!
📅 Thursday, November 20th
🕖 7:00 – 9:00 PM
📍 RAK Brewing, Frederick, MD
What’s the Cause?
For nearly 50 years, 930 WFMD’s Christmas Cash for Kids has been bringing holiday joy to children in need right here in Frederick County. Started in 1975 when a radio DJ responded to a listener’s plea for a family in need, the fundraiser has grown into the area’s largest holiday toy and clothing provider for kids. Partnering with the Salvation Army and local businesses, every dollar raised goes directly toward gifts, clothing, and essentials—purchased locally and distributed to local families. In 2024 alone, the program raised $134,000, helping more than 1,300 children from over 600 families experience the magic of Christmas.
