The event is tonight. Details below: Buckner to Honor Valued Volunteers, Donors at Founder’s Day DALLAS – In celebration of more than 130 years of serving orphans, at-risk children and families, Buckner International will honor its top volunteers and donors at its annual R.C. Buckner Founder’s Day dinner tonight at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. Award recipients for 2009 include WMBW, WMKW, WFCM Radio Stations for Dedicated Service Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and CBF Texas for Dedicated Church Service and Christ is our Salvation Foundation for Philanthropists of the Year. “We could not do the work we do without the faithful and generous support of these groups,” said Buckner President and CEO Kenneth L. Hall. “The recipients for this year’s awards have been working and serving with Buckner for many years. They are invaluable to us.” Each recipient has distinguished itself through unique dedication and service.
The roots of the ‘Shoes for Orphan Souls’ ministry of Buckner run deep in radio, so it’s no surprise that now, 15 years since it all started at KCBI and on the 10th anniversary of Buckner running the program, radio is still critical to success of the ministry. And WMBW radio in Chattanooga, Tenn., a Moody Broadcasting Network affiliate, is a vital partner.
