For the 14th consecutive year, Glenn Clark Radio and DrewsMorningDish.com are partnering to benefit Helping Up Mission. You all have been so insanely supportive of our efforts over the years. It has been humbling. If you need a reminder, this was what it looked like two years ago…
If you don’t know, one morning in 2009 Drew Forrester and I were hosting our morning show on 1570am. Drew said “I feel like we should try to do something.” The idea was to collect coats. Drew wanted to simply drive them around the city and drop them off with folks that appeared to be cold. I told Drew I liked the idea “but I think we can do it better.” Enter Tony Young (“Tony from Rosedale”) who introduced us to HUM and the rest was history.
We’ve been collecting coats and clothes ever since with overwhelming results.
This year…we need something a little different. This is a big ask. You guys have given us so much over the years that at the moment, Helping Up does not actually need more clothes! Their needs are a little different. Allow them to explain.
As you can see, this is a little bit different. We need underwear…and toiletries! That’s a horse of a different color! So…Drew and I still intend to do a collection event of some sort at Glory Days Grill and we will announce that shortly. Also my friends at Jerry’s Toyota and Jerry’s Chevrolet have committed to collecting items at their showrooms and we’ll give you some more details about that next week.
These are overwhelmingly items that need to be purchased. That’s a more difficult ask than simply emptying your closet as we’ve asked in previous years. But you guys have also come through for us starting during the 2020 pandemic with big donations. So we’re going to ask you to do that once more.
My personal goal is to raise $3,000 to spend on toiletries and underwear. The fine folks at Target in White Marsh have partnered with us the last couple of years to make our money go a little bit further. And we’re going to shoot to collect $2,500 of that via our annual “Help Us Help Helping Up” raffle. Thank you once again to my friend Kris Ruhling of Great 8’s Memorabilia for supplying some amazing raffle prizes. They include this full sized Ravens helmet autographed by Calais Campbell…
The next is this 11×17 Dorsey Art print autographed by World Series champion and former Orioles hero Trey Mancini…
Our third prize is this pair of autographed photos signed by Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser and safety Marcus Williams.
We need 100 people to purchase a $25 spot in the raffle. You’re REALLY making a $25 donation to our Helping Up Mission winter drive…it just happens to include the raffle ticket!
To enter, make your $25 donation via Venmo (@Glenn-Clark), PayPal (@GlennClark180 or glennclarkradio@gmail.com) or CashApp ($GlennClarkRadio). If you need to do it another way, please email me at glennclarkradio@gmail.com. PLEASE ALSO EMAIL ME (glennclarkradio@gmail.com) or DM me to let me know you made the donation so that I can have your contact info should you win! (I’ll also allow you to pick your raffle numbers.) I will update the list here as it gets filled up.
Thank you in advance. More details coming!
