Spirit FM 90.5 Continues With Its Award Winning 10-24 Project

For its third consecutive year, Spirit FM has kicked off its 10-24 Project, which will run through Tuesday, October 24. The radio station is calling for the community to rally behind its local law enforcement by sending in letters of affirmation and appreciation to the station. The cleverly named initiative stands for the Sheriff’s Office 10-24 code, which means ‘send help quickly.’ This year, the radio station is expanding it to include all first responders.

Please spread the word and send in your appreciation letters to the radio station by Tuesday, October 24, and Spirit FM will distribute them. Cards and letters for the 10-24 Project can be mailed to 717 S. Dale Mabry Hwy. Tampa, FL 33609 or dropped off Monday through Friday during business hours. 

If you would like to volunteer to help deliver cards, email Abby from The Big Big House Morning Show at abby@myspiritfm.com. For more information, printable sheets or ideas, visit www.myspiritfm.com or call 289-8040.
