LAZER 103.3 | Costumes for Kids

LAZER’s 9th Annual Costumes for Kids delivers Halloween joy to hundreds of Iowa households!

In partnership with Goodwill of Central Iowa and our new costume caravan, vehicle sponsor Iowa Auto Exchange, the LAZER 103.3 team delivered costumes and accessories to Children and Families of Iowa, a local non-profit organization that distributes the costumes to kids who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford one.

LAZER listeners dropped off new and gently used costumes at the LAZER studios throughout the 3-week campaign and helped raise a total of $4,276.24 through cash donations at the radio station and metro Goodwill of Central Iowa locations.  Goodwill hosted two “round-up” weekends supported by remote broadcasts – in which every purchase made by Goodwill shoppers could “round up” to the nearest dollar, with all that money going directly to the cause.

Halloween in Des Moines, known as “Beggar’s Night,” is a beloved local tradition where kids and their families celebrate community and giving. Gifting costumes to families in need has not only become a staff favorite for Heather, Wickett, Suzi, Styles, and Samantha, but local TV partners have embraced the campaign as well. Hello Iowa’s Megan Reuther looks forward to the drive every year.

There is no greater joy than seeing a smile on a child’s face. Looking forward to our 10 year anniversary, Heather & Wickett’s Costumes for Kids continues to grow with a passionate response from every member of the community!

Heather and Wickett’s Costume of Kids is a proud supporter of Children & Families of Iowa. Children & Families of Iowa is all about restoring hope, building futures, and changing lives for thousands of Iowans every year. They touch lives in every community across the state and make a difference for people who have nowhere else to turn.
