'Tis the Season of Giving! 104.3 WOMC, Detroit's All-Christmas Hits Station, Hosts Santa's Toy Castle Event

104.3 WOMC, Detroit's Greatest Hits station, now playing
all-Christmas Hits, will be broadcasting live from Santa's Toy Castle
at Center Court in Oakland Mall (412 W 14 Mile Rd, Troy) on December
13 and 14 to benefit The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division.
Guests can donate un-wrapped toys for under-privileged children at
the event, which will be distributed by The Salvation Army in time
for the holidays. There will also be family-friendly activities:
children can make ornaments at the event, and there will be a Santa
in the mall too.

All elves are on deck! Morning hosts Bobby Mitchell and Stacey
DuFord will be on site throughout the two day event, which will be
broadcast live on Friday December 13 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and
Saturday December 14 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. After Bobby and Stacey
broadcast their morning show they will be able to mingle with the
crowds, and participate on other shows while 104.3 WOMC hosts Jim
Johnson, Beau Daniels and Dave Fuller are on air.

Last year, the event collected more than 15,000 new toys for area
children that would otherwise not get toys for Christmas. “The
Santa’s Toy Castle event has become a WOMC tradition and is such
special way to give back for the holidays,” said Tim Roberts,
Program Director of 104.3 WOMC, a CBS Radio station. “The Salvation
Army has been such a great partner and we are honored to help them
with their mission. With the help of our WOMC listeners, I know we
can succeed our goal from last year.”

"It's only with the continued support of our Red Kettle
partners -- like WOMC -- that we can give hope to those we serve year
after year," said Major Mark Anderson, general secretary and
metro Detroit area commander of The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan
Division. "We are very grateful to station management and all
the WOMC personalities and staff who dedicate themselves to the
annual Toy Castle. Their efforts bring joy to countless children
across metro Detroit on Christmas morning."

104.3 WOMC recently switched to a special, all-Christmas greatest
hits music format in celebration of the holiday season and will be
hosting numerous community-based activities and events for families
throughout the entire holiday season. For more information, visit
