All day today on WFMT (starting at 5:58AM!) Steve Robinson, Sandy Ruffalo and myself, David Polk, will be reporting from the Chicago Helps Haiti Media Relief Telethon (http://www.hewitt.com/chicagohelpshaiti), live from Hewitt Headquarters in Lincolnshire, IL.
All day today, nearly every TV and radio station in Chicago will be asking their audiences to call 877-565-5000 to raise money for the Red Cross of Chicago specifically for Haiti relief. The calls come into Hewitt (a human resources consulting company), where hundreds of employees have volunteered to answer phones (Hewitt has also donated the space, phone lines and other resources to make this happen!).
Our own General Manager Steve Robinson initiated this huge collaborative project several years ago to provide relief for Tsunami Victims in Asia. When the earthquake hit Haiti, Chicago’s media once again got together to organize today’s telethon.
