By supporting Stories of Light, you can help make local wishes come true!
Now in its 14th year, Stories of Light® is a three day radio-thon and the largest annual fundraiser for Make-A-Wish® Oklahoma. KRMG’s Morning News Host Dan Potter will broadcast live from LaFortune Park each day. Hear heartwarming and inspiring stories from Wish Kids and their families. These stories serve as inspiration and motivation for KRMG listeners and the community to contribute to Make-A-Wish Oklahoma. Wish stories from children whose wishes have already been granted are told over the radio. These stories are very dramatic and compelling to the listening audience.
Members of the police departments from Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Owasso and Bixby will be on hand on Thursday to help with the fundraising efforts.
Donations generated from Stories of Light® enable Make-A-Wish Oklahoma to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
