2. WTKS Newsradio and the Dewitt Tilton Group presented the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire with $8,000 for the Shop With A Cop campaign.

Scotty Ryfun, a host of WTKS radio, said, “These children and families stay at the Ronald McDonald House for periods of time when they are displaced from their own homes due to the need to be close to a hospital. It’s so important to give these children a real Christmas, and we are overwhelmed by the community’s support of this program and these families.” (Connect Savannah.com)
