Twelve years ago, during a meeting at the Battle Creek Radio Stations on Golden Avenue, the staff were talking about the next project to do for the community.  It was Kelley Parish, morning show personality on 104.9FM came up with the idea:  “Let’s do a roof sit to raise money for the homeless shelter.”  More than a decade later, and more than $400,000, we’re still at it!
