Veronica Brandon Miller and Rick Hughes from Goodwill Manasota (Sarasota, FL) are taking their feel-good message of celebrating philanthropy to the airwaves with a new radio show, Tell Me Something Good. The show, which airs on Sundays on local radio station WSRQ (98.9FM, 106.9FM and 1220AM) at 11:00 am, focuses on the good that is happening in the community, highlighting those individuals, nonprofits and businesses that give generously of time, talent and treasure. Miller serves as Goodwill Manasota’s vice president for the foundation; Hughes is the director of community outreach.
“Not a day goes by that our team isn’t touched or inspired by the acts of generosity we see – whether from donors, fellow team members or business partners we’ve met through our work,” said Miller. “We talked about how wonderful it would be to share these stories with the community at large so that they, too, could be inspired. Thanks to WSRQ, we have an outlet to talk about the many acts of philanthropy taking place in our community, and honor those who are committed to improving the lives of others.”
“The partnerships we have developed with local companies and community leaders speak volumes – not only about our mission, but the philanthropic community in which we live and work,” said Bob Rosinsky, president and CEO of Goodwill Manasota. “This new venture is one more way for us to highlight the great things we are able to be a part of so we can bring attention to new programs, services and the fantastic people and companies that we’ve been able to partner with in our community. It’s another chance for us to say ‘Thank you’ for helping us change lives through the power of work.”
The show debuted on January 11. Guests were Harriet Roberts of Garden of the Heart Yoga Center – with whom the Goodwill partners on free outreach yoga programs for veterans and children with special needs – and Steve Altier of Seaside National Bank, who discussed his own charitable involvements.
