Dean Snyder Construction is the $25,000 presenting sponsor for the 2019 WHO Pinky Swear Radiothon this December. Co-owner Don Snyder became involved with Pinky Swear Foundation after hearing the story of a family dealing with childhood cancer during the 2017 radiothon.
“It touched me so deeply that I immediately called in to donate,” Don said. The next year DSC joined as a sponsor of the 2018 radiothon, and Don volunteered his own time to answer calls for the event.
“It’s a parent’s worst nightmare to have their child diagnosed with cancer. The assistance Pinky Swear provides to help with bills that are weighing heavily on these parents allows them to focus on what’s important – their family. We’ve now made it a company priority to support the foundation, which helps to keep our communities strong.”
“Pinky Swear Foundation is so thankful for Dean Snyder Construction. They truly embody what it means to be a community partner,” said Mary Mendenhall-Core, Iowa area director for Pinky Swear Foundation. “Our mission of supporting kids with cancer and their families can’t just lie on the shoulders of individual donors. We truly value the support of local businesses to reach even more families.”
The 2019 WHO Pinky Swear Radiothon will take place December 13, 2019 when News Radio 1040 WHO devotes an entire day to on-air fundraising for the organization and the families it serves.
