WCRX 88.1 FM Chicago is Committing to our Community. WCRXFM is teaching our radio students of the power and responsibility of media to support activities that make the Chicago region a better place. Whether through our food drive at our annual holiday live broadcast, Holly Jolly, which collects food for the Greater Chicago Food Depository; our Manifest broadcast which brings attention to Volunteerism and Chicagoans who are giving of their time and resources; or numerous activities like cleaning parks and cutting a ponytail for children in need.
(see slide show)
This spring, Luis Gomez cut his luxurious locks off for children in need of hairpieces due to medical hairloss. After 2 years of growing it to 22 inches in length, Luis G cut off his ponytail and donated it to the organization Locks of Love. Their mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.
