 This Sunday Chattanooga Market will be celebrating Mother’s Day with Pennies For Vicki, a local non-profit organization founded in remembrance of Vicki Connor, an employee of KZ-106’s oldies station who died of breast cancer in January 2001. Our festivities for Mom will include a wine and cheese plate for $5 which will benefit the organization. The day promises to be special with our sold-out vendors offering handmande gifts that Mom can choose for herself, food for everyone in the family and live entertainment. About our “Booth For A Cause” – “This is our charity of choice here at the radio station (KZ106), so any time we have a chance to tie an event to Pennies for Vicki, we jump at the chance. We think of Vicki often. We do a lot of other events in the area throughout the year, and this event is a just another wonderful chance to get together with Vicki’s family and friends, which keeps her memory alive,” said Kelly McCoy, Director of Promotions for Citadel, and a close personal friend of Vicki’s.
Since 2001, Pennies for Vicki has helped make a difference in the lives of thousands of women with breast cancer. “The first year, our goal was to raise $1 million pennies, and we ended up raising $3 million pennies.” said McCoy.
Pennies for Vicki supports women with breast cancer both nationally and locally and has made donations to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Why Me of Chattanooga, and the Helene DiStefano Fund. “There are a lot of things insurance doesn’t cover,” said McCoy, “and often women still have to work to support their families, so we are able to step in and help women in these situations.”
