Every non-profit organization has been challenged with key fundraising events being cancelled, postponed, re-purposed or re-imagined in light of COVID-19 [which, by the way, sucks].  Unfortunately, the WHAS Crusade for Children is no different with the delay of their annual telethon happening this weekend, August 8th and 9th. As a member of a local fire departmentContinue reading "Pre-Blast – WHAS Crusade for Children Q with Jolly Rancher – The Inferno @ The Station"
