Kids Are Doing Great Things

The 13th annual Donate Life Walk and Silent Auction is on Saturday, April 12th, at Bay View Middle School in Green Bay. Then Cindy Pokorny and David Leiting joined from EAA in Oshkosh. Between their "Girls on the Fly" events and their "Young Eagles" program, there is a ton of hands-on experiences that children can get involved with.

Maino & Moran Hour 2

March 18, 2025

Beth Kowalski from the Neville Public Museum joins John and guest co-host Vanessa Moran to discuss the extended hours they've implemented for spring break. Her visit is another great reminder of this great resource in our community. From ever-changing displays to club meetings and more, we LOVE the Neville and Beth! Then, our guest host, Vanessa Moran, takes time to talk about the charity she works with, Feed My Starving Children. Her work with the organization is how we met her last year. Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. Vanessa says over 6000 children die every day from hunger. Just children, 18 and under.
