CrazyKelvin at CKLN Fund Fest

Make a pledge! cK impersonates celebrities to draw support for radio station.

I was invited to support the annual Fund Fest pledge drive for CKLN 88.1FM in Toronto. As a previous host back in 1999 - 2000, I had to give back and help raise money to keep the station going.

The studio that CKLN is now broadcasting from is much different from the basement dwellings where it was back in the day. It's now fully state-of-the-art, thanks to all the previous fund raisers held over the years.

I came along with Angela, Emmanuel, Tyrone and Adonis. We all discussed what our program was about on the air along with some shout outs to people who pledged some money.

In order to gain some more support, and not go on and on about donating money to the station, I brought in some big ticket names. After using some of my Hollywood connections, I managed to get WWE wrestler, "The Rock" and also, "Hulk Hogan" to make an appearance and say a few words about CKLN.

Actually, it was just me impersonating them. It was humourous, but the phones actually lit up of people calling in to support the station.

Great experience, and it was nice to sit back in the CKLN environment again.
