The annual Calgary Dream Centre Radio-thon fundraiser is coming up fast, and as always, AM 1140 will be a big part of the day.

Dream Centre Executive Director Jim Moore says he knows times are tough out there with the slumping economy, but they're still hoping to meet their fundraising goals.

He says they've added a new program this year as well.

"It's called 'Toonies for Turkey's.' And we serve thousands of meals at Thanksgiving time, and just a toonie with provide a Thanksgiving meal for someone that can't have a turkey dinner themselves."

The Radio-thon is set for Thursday, October 6 from 6 A.M. TO 6 P.M.
