IT'S KOOL TO CARE

In 1998, 105.3 Kool FM launched a Public Service initiative to assist the numerous community organizations committed to making Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge a better place to live and raise a family. Kool FM has always made airtime available for Public Service announcements, but this initiative would be different. An entire month would be dedicated to a specific charity.

Each year, Kool FM receives dozens of applications from Charities looking for exposure. A panel of judges sits down and decides upon 12 charities that will be awarded a month Long "Kool To Care Campaign".

Each charitable organization receives an impressive package. A month long on air campaign highlighting the Charities objectives and needs, as well as promoting upcoming events that are fundraisers. Plus, a representative from each charity comes in and records a Community Minute. A one minute pre-recorded interview that deals specifically with events that the chosen charity wants the community to participate in to raise much needed funds.
