Call In To 98.8 The Buzz

​​​​​​(0:00) Hi, my name is Julie, and I am calling to share a happy retirement wish to Scott.
(1:30) That's so nice of you, Julie. That's so cool of you.​​​​​​​
(1:32) It's a great memory, and we even talked about it at all of our reunions we've had since. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:37) Really? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:37) It was a great memory for all. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:39) Oh man.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:40) Well, now you've got to DJ one of their reunions, Scott. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:42) I'll be free. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:44) You've got plenty of time on your hands.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:49) That's awesome. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:50) And before I go, can I just put in a quick plug for my Christmas program. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I run In Memory of My Niece Zoe Who Passed Away of a Brain Tumor.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(1:59) Okay, wait a minute. Is this Julie Bennett? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(2:02) Yes, this is Julie Bennett. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(2:04) Why didn't you say it was you? You're Zoe's Christmas angels, I know.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(2:07) Yeah, we've helped you out before. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(2:10) I created this program In Memory of My Niece Zoe Who Passed Away at Age 5 of a Brain Tumor. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The prognosis for this terrible cancer is normally 6 to 9 months.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Because we found it early, we were able to get one day short of two years with Zoe before she passed. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​So here I am, 8 years later, continuing this mission because my greatest fear is her memory and her name will be forgotten, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​and I refuse to allow that to happen. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(2:37) Now what do you do for other kiddos? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(2:39) Anybody needing help or in a situation where a family can otherwise not provide Christmas for their children ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​due to whatever situation they're in or financial challenge, we vet them, make sure this is all legit, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​and we try to provide them the Christmas that they deserve.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ No child, especially leaving some of these situations, and when I say they're horrific, they're horrific. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:05) I'm sure. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:06) I want to give them one day of joy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Christmas comes to everybody, and I have a lot of participants that only want to help the younger children. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Those children get taken right away. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It's my teens that are on the list.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:16) Like an Amazon wish list, right? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:18) I have a website. It's called Zoe'sChristmasAngels.com. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​No spaces. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:23) How many kids do we have to take care of and we just go right to Zoe's Christmas Angels? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:27) In the year 2026, we will have helped our 1,000th child.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:32) Wow! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(3:33) Zoe would have been 14 on Saturday. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​My goal was to have 90% of this list taken care of, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​and unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand and need this year, we're not close. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The action item is, go to Zoe'sChristmasAngels.com ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​and just pop one of those gifts from the gift list, from the Amazon wish list.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Yes, scroll to the bottom. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​You can see who we're helping, why we're helping, my mission. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Anything I can do to help these children, give them at least one day of normalcy in their life, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​is what I feel compelled to do.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:04) Julie, you're an angel yourself. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:06) We love it. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:07) We really appreciate that.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:08) We're definitely part of the Buzz fam. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:09) I appreciate you all. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:10) All right, let's do this.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:11) Let's go. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:11) The best station in Rochester. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:13) I'm singing in the car.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Kids are in the mood to have fun. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:15) Isn't it like the best Friday? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:16) Turn it. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:17) Party time! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:19) Let's sing! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:21) Okay, now you've got a big heart.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:23) You're going to go to Zoe'sChristmasAngels.com and make a memory. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:27) Please help out. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:28) And Julie, thank you for bringing this to attention again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ We're so happy to get this relayed out on the radio for you. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:33) Thank you so much. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:35) You're welcome.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:36) Okay, let's do this, Sandy. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:38) It's time to kick off the weekend! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:42) Yay! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:43) Zoe's Christmas Angels! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
(4:45) Zoe's Christmas Angels!
