The station raised just over $1 million in its 37-hour careathon last Thursday and Friday. That is up more than 35% from last year, when the station raised about $730,000. Star 94 raised $1.2 million last year for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Kicks raised $1.1 million for St. Jude's Children's Research in Memphis.

Kudos to all three. I would imagine these types of events are a logisitcal nightmare. Who, at the station, actually puts it all together?

I've been in the business long enough to know that's simply not true. "Everybody" may play a ROLE in the event or maybe even have had a small part in the planning of it. But, invariably, there are one or two individuals who take the lion's share of the burden upon their shoulders. These people start planning months ahead of the event. They deal with all the headaches and all the competing interests on a day-to-day basis while the rest of us look at it as just one more event that's marked on our calendars. They handle the logistics, the scheduling snafus, the staff prima donnas, the sponsor demands, etc. They labor in anonymity and they usually receive little of the credit when the speakers are packed into the truck for the final time. That's why I'm asking, "Who actually puts it all together?"
