THE PRIMARY BENEFICIARIES MUSIC
THERAPY OF THE OZARKS.
WE ARE PRIMARY TRYING TO RAISE
MONEY TO ENABLE MORE YOUNG
PEOPLE WITH NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO
TAKE PART IN THE ACTIVITIES AND
PROGRAMS THAT THEY DO PROVIDE
John: OF COURSE IT SEEMS LIKE
EVERY YEAR THERE'S MORE AND MORE
CHARITIES THAT BENEFIT FROM THE
PRICE CUTTER.
WHY IS, 43 CHARITIES?
THERE ARE ACTUALLY 48
I CAN'T EVEN KEEP TRACK OF
THEM.
I CAN'T EITHER AT TIMES.
BUT OVER THE LAST 29 YEARS WE'VE
GIVEN AWAY JUST OVER
$15.6 MILLION AND I'M SURE WE
WILL GIVE AWAY SEVEN-8-9 THIS
YEAR AS WELL.
USUALLY BY NOVEMBER IS WHEN
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY COMING
IN.
I THINK OUR SEPARATION
SHARING IS A DECEMBER 10TH
TAKING PLACE AT HIGHLAND
SPRINGS.
ALL SPOTS ARE INVITED OF COURSE
THE CHERRIES ARE THERE.
THAT'S WHEN THEY DO RECEIVE
THEIR CHECKS ON THAT DAY TO DO
IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN SAN
ANTONIO, HOW CAN THEY DO THAT?
DOES CONTACT ANYONE AT THE
MISSOURI SPORTS HALL OF FAME.
THAT'S THE MANAGING AGENCY.
YOU CAN BECAUSE IT 89-3100.
8893100.
WHY IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF
THIS WHOLE CYCLE?
STORMS EARLY IN THE IT WAS LATE
IN THE ENTERTAINMENT IS RIGHT IN
THE MIDDLE PART WHAT'S YOUR
FAVORITE PART?
FOR ME EVEN THE MONEY TO
CHARITY.
THAT'S WHY IT'S ABOUT.
I LOVE GOLF AS MUCH AS ANYONE.
I DON'T PLAY MUCH ANYMORE BUT
GIVING THE MONEY TO CHARITY.
IT IS THE BIGGEST FUNDRAISER
HELD IN THE OZARKS YEAR IN AND
YEAR OUT AND WE HAVE A LOT OF
CHARITIES DEPENDING ON THESE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF TREES THAT ARE
WELL-KNOWN ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE
FEED MONEY TO EACH YEAR.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM BUT WE
ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF SMALLER
CHARITIES, AND THE EVEN TO BE
THE LIFEBLOOD FOR THOSE
ORGANIZATIONS.
AND THEY ARE ABLE TO MEET THEIR
NEEDS -- I OFTEN GET EXAMPLE OF
TWO YEARS AGO WE WERE GIVING OUR
MONEY AWAY.
WE HAD SOME CASH LEFT AND WE
ALLOWED OUR CHARITIES TO APPLY
FOR A GRANT.
AND WE HAD ONE ORGANIZATION THAT
NEEDED PROCESSES FOR THE DENTAL
LAB.
THEY PROVIDED $400.
THIS RENDERS HAD A VAN THAT THEY
WERE TRANSPORTING CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES DETROIT HOSPITALS
AROUND THE WEST THAT HAD
300,000 MILES ON.
THEY NEED A VAN.
THE GROUP THAT NEEDED 400 GOT
400, THE GROUP THAT NEEDED
40,000, THEY GOT 40,000, AND
BOTH OF THEM WERE THRILLED,
BECAUSE THEIR NEEDS WERE MET.
THAT'S REALLY WHY WE ARE
STRIVING TO DO, IS MEET THE
NEEDS OF A LOT OF CHARITIES WITH
CHILDREN AND REGULATORS AS WELL
AS FAMILIES
John: THAT'S WHY IT'S ALL
ABOUT.
JEREMIAH, ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOU
COMING IN.
