One of Connecticut”™s most popular morning team, Chaz and AJ (WPLR and WFOX), spent a recent week on-air, on-line and at Jordan”™s Furniture New Haven collecting cash and toys equaling more than $166,000 to be distributed to five local charities.
“The outpouring of generosity in this very difficult year was truly incredible,” Chaz said. “Every year we try to raise a little bit more than the year before but our expectations for 2020 were very measured. We are absolutely blown away by this total.”
The toys and cash were immediately distributed to five local charities, which were chosen through a grant submission process. The five charities included the McGivney Community Center Bridgeport, Boys and Girls Club of Lower Naugatuck Valley, Center for Family Justice, Team Inc. and Central Connecticut Coast YMCA.
“Chaz and AJ are an incredibly unique, powerful show” remarked Kristin Okesson, senior vice president/market manager Connoisseur Media, which owns radio clusters in the region. She said, “They have spent 2020 trying to calm, educate and entertain their loyal audience, but most importantly lend a helping hand to families in need. “
