KKJM/St Cloud (Spirit 92.9) PD morning host Jess Hart is honoring the life and legacy of longtime Christian Radio air talent Theresa Lynn Conner who passed away last month. When Jess read about Theresa’s passing she wanted to DO something to help her family, but also something for the Christian Radio community to inspire us to carry on her legacy.
Jess tells HisAir, “So many of us knew and loved her and were inspired by her. Since she often referred to herself as a “HOPE Dealer”, and since that applies to all of us as believers (both on and off air), I thought this would be a great way to do that. As of right now 134 shirts have sold, with a goal of 150 by the end of January. There are 3 options: short sleeve t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, and crewneck sweatshirt. $10 from each shirt purchased will be given to Theresa’s husband, Phil. We’re working on a plan for everyone who has one to wear them on the same day at Momentum this year as well!
