The 3-Degree Guarantee approaching $100,000
(COLROADO SPRINGS) —FOX21's 3-Degree Guarantee is coming up on a huge Milestone of raising $100,000 for local charities.
FOX21's Chief meteorologist Matt Meister recapped how it works: 'We're doing it $60 a time… When we are within plus or minus three degrees, FOX21 donates $30 and Wire Nut donates $30. So it seems like a small amount on a daily basis, but $100,000 is a huge difference to the community.'
Wire Nut Home Services has teamed up with FOX21 News for going on six years to give to 60 local non-profits.
Wire Nut father-and-son duo Gavin and Trent Urban said this is what Wire Nut is all about.
'One of our core values is care, and I think that that means a lot for us,' said Gavin. 'We want to exude that by showing that we care for our community and the people in our community.'
One of the charities they have given to is the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMDHC) in Colorado Springs. The FOX21 Storm Team only missed one day, racking up their donation to $1,800.
'That $1,800 paid for 24 nights for a family to stay within eight months, in eyesight of where their critically ill child is being treated,' said Sam Milan, the development director for RMDHC.
The 3-Degree Guarantee is expected to hit that $100,000 mark by the end of the month.
