'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 www.womc.com.
