Summary

Brad Cunard lost his wife and two young sons when a massive tree fell on their car during a storm in Virginia-Highland. The community wanted to honor them with a memorial playground, but the project needed funding. Brad came on The Bert Show to share his story. What started as a short interview turned into two hours of live calls. Listeners flooded the phone lines with donations, raising $60,000 in that one morning alone. That momentum helped push the campaign far past the original $135,000 goal, ultimately bringing in $300,000 in cash and services!
