Big Donations for Share Your Holidays at Wausau Holiday Parade

A big thank you from NewsChannel 7 to everyone who donated to Share Your Holidays at the Wausau Holiday Parade!

Members of the NC7 staff walked along the Wausau Holiday Parade route Friday (12/5/14) night collecting your donations of money and food.

Since the weather was nice, the turnout was good and a whole bunch of you who turned out brought donations as well.

The only down side is because we had to stop a lot to collect your donations, we held up the parade a little bit.

Sorry about that.

If you couldn't make it to the parade you can donate food or money at NewsChannel 7 and the River Valley Bank.

Money donations are doubled thanks to matching grants.

All of it goes to the Salvation Army and Neighbor's Place.
