Radio Hosts Join CC's "Build The Dream" Radiothon

To help celebrate the 45th anniversary of the March on Washington, DC, and the "I Have a Dream" speech, Clear Channel Radio and the Washington DC Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation announced the additions of syndicated radio personalities Steve Harvey, Doug Banks, Tom Joyner and Michael Baisden to an all-star ensemble of celebrities for the Clear Channel "Build the Dream" Radiothon on Thursday, August 28.

The celebrity participants will be featured on select Clear Channel Radio outlets sharing their thoughts about the importance of Dr. King and the significance of building a national Memorial to honor his ideals of democracy, justice, hope and love.

"We are honored to have such a renowned group of personalities join forces in our campaign to honor Dr. King," said Senior VP/Urban Programming Doc Wynter. "The support of these additional celebrities in conjunction with 36 Clear Channel stations nationwide takes us one step closer to reaching the Memorial Foundation's fundraising goals."

Listeners will be directed to the Memorial Foundation at mlkradiothon.org and to an 800 number to make a donation and learn more. All funds raised from the campaign will go towards the Memorial, which will be erected on the National Mall in Washington, DC. (08-19-08)
