Crusade tops more than $5.1 million

Crusade final toteboard: $5,121,881

Nearly 200 fire departments, hundreds of organizations and thousands of people made it happen.

After 30+ hours of the radio/Internet/television celebration, about 100 volunteers and supporters of the WHAS Crusade for Children gave this, the 58th annual, a rousing send off with an emotional singing of God Bless America.

When it was all said and sung, the people of Kentuckiana donated $5,121,881 to the 58th annual Crusade to help children with special needs.

Broadcast outlets put aside any competitive differences for the betterment of children. The weekend included endless live coverage on flagship broadcast outlets WHAS-TV and 84WHAS Radio; as well as six hours on WBKI-TV, Louisville; four hours on WBKO-TV, Bowling Green; two hours on WQWQ-TV, Paducah; and 2 hours on each of the seven Commonwealth Broadcasting radio stations.
