Operation Santa Claus

KWKH  thanks everyone who donated toys or money to buy toys for Operation Santa Claus.  This year's task of providing new toys to local less fortunate children in Shreveport-Bossier was a bit daunting on the outset as we had 975 children for whom to provide.

Thank you for your help with Operation Santa Claus again this year. Because of you, nearly 1,000 little faces will have big smiles on Christmas! Take a moment and look at the photos of our 27th year of Operation Santa Claus.

Through the airways of Townsquare Media and the Internet, volunteers with Operation Santa Claus work to find sponsors who will donate toys or money to help fill the children’s Christmas wishes.

I'm happy and humbled at the same time to have experienced the annual Barney Cannon Smile Run for the first time this year as the morning show host at KWKH, the show Barney hosted for some 11 years.

Each year, during Operation Santa Claus, we deliver toys to children in some of the local hospitals. We call it the "Barney Cannon Smile Run" because Barney always said, "you're never fully dressed unless you're wearing a big ol' smile". And Barney always wore a big ol' smile.

KWKH is holding its annual Operation Santa Claus "Barney Cannon Smile Run" this morning.  That's when we'll take your new toy donations to local children in two Shreveport-Bossier area hospitals.

KWKH thanks everyone who came out for our last Operation Santa Claus remote collecting toys and donations to buy new toys for local needy children here in Shreveport-Bossier.

KWKH invites you to come out for the last Operation Santa Claus remote, which is this morning from 7-9 am at the Joint Chiropractic Place on Youree Drive in Shreveport.  We desperately need your help to make this a Merry Christmas for local disadvantaged children who live here in Shreveport Bossier.

Here are some nice Operation Santa Claus photos to check out. They were taken today at the Brookshires in Haughton and last Friday at the Brookshires in Shreveport.

KWKH took the morning show on the road to the Haughton Brookshires for Operation Santa Claus.   Thank you to everyone who came out with a donation of toys and cash.

Come by the Brookshires on Hwy. 80 in Haughton this morning for KWKH's Operation Santa Claus.  If you  haven't donated yet this is our last week for you bring us a new unwrapped toy for a child who wouldn't have any toys for Christmas this year.

Thanks for joining KWKH and me this morning at the Operation Santa Claus remote at the Brookshires at the corner of Mansfield Road and Bert Kouns. According to Shreveport Fire Inspector Jeff Williams, we collected cash donations of about $1,500 not to mention a van load of new toys for local less fortunate children in Shreveport/Bossier.
