(Indianapolis, IN) - Our very own Dennis Siddall received a game ball from the Indianapolis Colts yesterday for his fundraising efforts over the past 21 years to help take children shopping for Christmas.

 

Dennis, co-host of the Morning Mayhem program on 96.7 The Eagle and General Manager of the station alongside Rock 106.5, went to Lucas Oil Stadium to see the Colts for the first time. He didn’t know he was going to be honored on the field until after taking his seat.

 

The surprise was arranged with help from La Porte area resident Dan Bigg, who’s affiliated with the Colts.

“The next thing I knew the mascot, 'Blue,' came down along with a few of the Indianapolis Colts people and they presented to me a game ball from the team,” he said.

 

“Total surprise and and honor."

 

Dennis raises the funds annually by encouraging 96.7 The Eagle listeners to come to the radio station in La Porte and donate to the Deserving Children’s Christmas Shopping Tour, as well as helping take children shopping to purchase items such as clothing and shoes.

 

Over the past twenty-one years, close to one million dollars has been raised from the yearly Roof-Sit event, held at the station, to make sure children receive a good Christmas.
