Yard Sale at 96KX in Lincoln, Nebraska Benefits Military Kids
Yard sales and moving go hand in hand. In early January as employees at 96KX got ready to move the station to its new location, the staff used this opportunity to provide the listeners in Lincoln with some music treasures and to support military children through Operation Give a Hug. Proceeds from the 96KX Yard Sale are being used to provide dolls to military children with deployed parents.  

This month's yard sale was the most recent endeavor of 96KX in support of military children.  Past activities include concert ticket auctions benefiting Operation Give a Hug.
