Request-a-thon with 99.7 MAX FM, Kick-off for "A Month of Purple Thursday"

Purple Thursday (Oct 20) is a day of recognition of domestic violence where people across the country wear purple to show their support of survivors. It’s also a day where we at Hope House encourage donations for our shelter from the items on our wish list. This year we’re trying something new! Starting on September 22, we’re kicking off “A Month of Purple Thursday” with a request-a-thon on 99.7 MAX FM! Starting at 7:30am on Sept 22, you can call in to the radio station and request a song if you make a monetary donation to Hope House or donate an item from our wish list.

Between Sept 22-Oct 20, you can drop off our Purple Thursday wish list items (see image below) at these participating public libraries:

Sauk County: Prairie du Sac, Sauk City, also at McFarlanes’ in Sauk City
Columbia County: Portage, Lodi, Poynette, and Wisconsin Dells
