Callicoon, NY – Last year on Saturday, August 22, over $64,000 was raised in the first-ever Home of the Free Because of the Brave Radiothon held at the Sullivan County International Airport. One hundred volunteers participated by answering phones, tallying pledges, putting out food, organizing and entertaining. 

This year, the event is taking place over two days – Saturday and Sunday, August 28 and 29 – at a new location, the Villa Roma Resort and Country Club.
