THE 15TH ANNUAL MAYFLOWER MARATHON!!! NOVEMEBR 24TH-26TH 2008!!!

Greetings radio fans! Less than a moth away from today, the 15th annual Mayflower Marathon begins. In case you don't know what that is, it is a Bax and O'Brien tradition. For the threee days before thanksgiving, Bax and O'Brien broadcast for 52-hours straight. They do this to collect no-perishable food items to stock the Springfield Open Pantry. The Open Pantry is a service provided to low-income familes in the Western Massachusetts area.

From the Open Pantry Website, here is there Mission Statement:

"Open Pantry Community Services, Inc. was established as a private, non-profit organization in 1975 and incorporated as Open Pantry of Springfield, Inc. in 1977.

With humanity and dignity, we endeavor to provide meaningful services and processes which can assist people who are hungry, homeless, or disadvantaged to improve the quality of their lives.

Open Pantry receives wonderful support from area faith communities and houses of worship however, the agency does not have or promote any religious mission."
