Forgotten Harvest has been named beneficiary of this year’s JJ & Lynne’s
Stone Soup Project™!
About Stone Soup
In 2003, WCSX’s morning show hosts JJ & Lynne, spearheaded one of the most popular fundraising efforts in Detroit radio history…The JJ & Lynne’s Stone Soup Project™.
The JJ & Lynne’s Stone Soup Project™ was inspired by the old stone soup fable wherein everyone throws something in the pot to make a great meal. This event harnesses the generosity and ingenuity of WCSX listeners from around the Detroit to work together for a common cause… to build a rockin’ classic car!
It all starts when someone donates – in many cases – a shell of a vehicle. And then someone donates an engine, a company donates a new grill, a group of mechanics offer to spend their next eight weekends putting it all together… get the picture? And then over the course of a few short months, that shell is transformed into a ride any car enthusiast would envy.
But one lucky person will be able to claim that custom car as their own. And all it takes is a $25 raffle ticket! All the proceeds from the raffle will go to Forgotten Harvest.
Since its inception five years ago, the JJ & Lynne’s Stone Soup Project has raised nearly $1 million for local Detroit charities.
How to get involved:
You may also purchase tickets at the WCSX appearances listed below or at the Forgotten Harvest offices Monday – Friday between 9 am – 5 pm.
If you’d like to contribute to this year’s Stone Soup project through an in-kind donation towards the car, please contact Jim O’Brien at WCSX.
