WGN celebrates Nexstar’s Founder’s Day of Caring
Friday June 14 is Nexstar’s Founder’s Day of Caring.
Nexstar stations across the country will be giving back with volunteer opportunities for its thousands of employees.
WGN has organized a blood drive for the Red Cross. The American Red Cross stresses that blood and platelet donors are critically needed right now to combat a drastic shortfall in donations over the last several weeks. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with type O blood and donors giving platelets. Make a blood or platelet donation a priority this summer. Book a time to give now by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
Additionally, WGN-TV staffers will be volunteering at Cradle to Crayons. In Chicago, one in two kids can’t afford appropriate clothing or adequate school supplies. Cradles to Crayons mission is clear: to provide children from birth through age 12 with the everyday essentials they need to thrive – at home, at school, and at play – a vision of a future free of childhood poverty.
