Operation Santa Claus

Whether you run, walk or crawl, Operation Santa Claus is hoping you'll join us Saturday, September 5, for the 2nd Annual Operation Santa Claus 5K Run.  You might even win one of several cash prizes! Operation Santa Claus is a joint effort between Kiss Country and the other Shreveport Townsquare Media radio stations, the Shreveport Fire and Police Departments and the Bossier Sheriff's Office to pro

Deputies, police officers and firefighters made a stop at Shriners Hospital this morning as part of the Operation Santa Claus "Barney Cannon Smile Run."

Businesses all over Shreveport and Bossier have given generously to the less fortunate kids aided by Operation Santa Claus.  Donations from Fleaux Services, the Shreveport/Bossier Apartment Association, and so many more.  And now the kids from Benton Middle School have even come to the rescue.

Townsquare Media which consists of News Radio 710 KEEL, 1130 The Tiger, 96.5 KVKI, Kiss Country 937, The Rock Station 99X and K945, along with the Shreveport Police and Fire Departments and the Bossier Sheriff's Office are taking to the streets once again, asking for a little help for local children here at Christmas.

Well, it's official!!!  Operation Santa Claus 2014 has begun!  I had the chance to visit with Jeff Williams of the Shreveport Fire Department who is President of Operation Santa Claus and he gave us some awesome ways you can help Santa with some LOCAL kids who could really use a GREAT Christmas this year!

Kids from local day care centers lined up for nearly an hour to wait for the arrival of the world's favorite elf!  Santa Claus arrived in a Shreveport Fire Department fire engine as he's done for the past 30 years to kick off Operation Santa Claus!

I settled my bet with Gary McCoy today!  Gary also suffered with me thanks to your generosity donating to Operation Santa Claus.  Today, from noon to 1pm, we stood on the corner of Bert Kouns and Youree Dr. dressed in full Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader outfits.

Well, it's official.  It's pretty close to horrendous, but it's official!  Chris Evans and I will dress up as Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and spend the entire lunch hour this Friday at Porter's Fine Dry Cleaners at the corner of Youree Drive and Bert Kouns.

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday for the Operation Santa Claus 5K.  What an awesome group of people to run with!

Think maybe you might have just a little left over in the "jogging tank" and you'd like to help put a smile on hundreds of local kids' faces?  We've got just the way you can do it with the first ever "Operation Santa Claus 5K!"

This morning we spent a couple of hours at Healthcare Express collecting toys for Operation Santa Claus and it was widely successful as we hung out with the Shreveport Police and Fire Departments, the Bossier Sheriff's Department and the staff of Healthcare Express.  We even had guests from Macaroni Kid, Chick-Fil-A and Missy Setters of the AdvoCare Independence Bowl showed up to make a donation.

Operation Santa Claus kicked off in Shreveport-Bossier this week with one goal: to help underprivileged area children have a Christmas. Several local drop-off locations for Operation Santa Claus have been set up for residents who'd like to donate toys to the non-profit group.
