Blue Ridge Broadcasting Corp and Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers
Monday, July 30th, 2007
Navtej Kohli has been gracious enough to sponsor a post about my favorite charity. In fact, he’s sponsored several across my different blogs, and I’ll be highlighting a different charity for each sponsorship. I’m having a hard time selecting the charity I want to discuss on this blog, because it’s the last one, and so I am going to talk about two, both of which are ranked four stars by Charity Navigators.
First up is the Blue Ridge Broadcasting Corporation, founded by Billy Graham in 1962. The am station reaches parts of three states and the fm station reaches portions of seven. The stations are noncommercial. 106.9fm plays contemporary Christian music and biblically-based talk shows, while 1010am provides Bible teaching and conservative talk.
Next is Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers. This organization offers a two-year program for offenders and substance abusers at no cost to the individuals. The therapeutic residential program only accepts those with a strong desire to turn their lives around. It operates several businesses through which it offers vocational training to program participants, so they are prepared to live productive lives after treatment.
I want to thank Navtej for the opportunity to talk about these organizations that are making a difference for people in my state.
