The $10,000 gift was one of the largest single donations ever made to the club. It will be distributed to over 40 local children's organizations during our annual giving effort.

Congratulations to the Rochester Red Wings! The Red Wings were presented with the 2006 Press-Radio All Star award given to a group or an individual who has consistently contributed above and beyond to the Press-Radio club.

The Red Wings have contributed time, talent and resource towards our annual Dinner of Champions, our annual agency picnic, and have provided numerous gifts-in-kind as well as cash to our children's charities. Naomi Silver and the Red Wings are long-time supporters of the Annual Dinner of Champions and General Manager, Dan Mason and Assistant GM, Will Rumbold have served two consecutive two-year stints as President of the club. The front office has also been generous with their time and assisted us each year with the dinner.

Hats off to a giving and talented group and generous supporters of the Press-Radio Children's Charities.
