Eagle Radio in Hays recently donated $1,100 to the popular Kiwanis Flag Project that since 1999 has placed American flags throughout the community on select holidays.
The annual donation was presented by Eagle employee-owner and 25-year Kiwanis, Kevin Schukman.
"First of all, it's a Kiwanis fundraising project," he said.
The club uses those donations further support community organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ellis County, First Call for Help, Boy and Girl Scouts, and others.
He said this year's donation was especially poignant following the passing of the originator of the program in Hays, Jerry Ubert.
Schukman said nearly 1,300 flags were placed this year.
"It's been very successful for the Kiwanis and the community," he said. "We really appreciate Eagle Radio for promoting the Flag Project and raising funds through Eagle's advertisers.
