Sonora, CA — Clarke Broadcasting is spearheading a community-wide, Tuolumne and Calaveras County fundraiser in conjunction with the local American Red Cross for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
On Wednesday, KVML, Star 92.7, 93.5 KKBN and MyMotherlode.com will broadcast live from the local American Red Cross office at 13669 Mono Way near the Junction Shopping Center from 10am until 6pm.

Additional huge corporate contributions have already been made in the amounts of $100,000 from the Kautz family and Ironstone Vineyards, and $10,000 and still growing by Black Oak Casino.
