Today and tomorrow are two of the most important days in the broadcast year for me.  It’s the 12th Annual WSB Care-a-Thon, an event where we raise money for the AFLAC Cancer Center at Children’s Hospital in Atlanta.  Twelve years – and over that time we’ve raised over $11 million dollars .. over a million dollars a year.  We cover the costs … ALL the money goes to the AFLAC.  The entire WSB staff .. and especially Belinda and I who have been there all along … have rejoiced with kids who beat their cancer, and mourned for those who did not.  There just are not words to express the love we feel for the staff of the AFLAC Cancer Center and the children and their families who come there for treatment.  Yes … I’m retiring, but I’ll arrange my travels to make sure that every year I’m right back here in Atlanta so that I can be there for the Care-A-Thon as long as they’ll have me.    

If you want more information about our efforts over the next two days, you can click right here.   And as for the show?  Just the same as always, except you’ll hear us tell you about some very special children several times an hour. 

By the way … we’re still auctioning off my customized studio chair (picture below).  You can make bids on this chair by sending an email to Nealz.Nuze@CoxRadio.com.  There’s only one – I’m the only one who’s used it – and what a terrific conversation piece after I retire!  Remember … money goes to treat children for cancer, and it’s tax deductible.
