Since 2018, 104.9 The Fox, Mix 106.3, and Ground Crew of Jonesboro have turned the holiday lights on at the homes of some very special honorees. A first responder. Foster Family. Tornado Victim. Veteran. Teacher. Business who gives back. An unsung hero.
This holiday season, we want the lights to shine on someone who has recently been impacted by a layoff. Nominate that special someone who has spent years showing up, working hard and providing for their family—but recently found themselves facing an unexpected job loss because of a plant closing, company downsizing or layoff.
Ground Crew will decorate the honoree’s home for the holidays, completely free. Jetton Power Solutions will provide a $500 Visa Gift Card for the honoree to use on whatever they want — or need — this Christmas.
Submit your nomination below and help us brighten the holidays for one special person. Deadline is midnight Friday November 13th.
