In 2014, Ozark Radio Network formed ORN Cares to help give back to our local communities. Each year a committee selects a local non-profit group and ORN Cares fundraises for that group and also host the Annual ORN Cares Golf Tournament.
Since 2014 ORN Cares has raised over $173,500 that has been placed back into our area. Below is a breakdown on where the funds have been placed and how the ORN Cares Golf Tournament has contributed and continues to grow.
The Ozark Radio Network/Ozark Marketing Company is proud announce the 2021 ORN Cares fundraising recipient is the Fraternal Order of Police — Missouri Lodge #43 and its annual Shop with a Cop event.
Ozark Radio News spoke with Lodge Treasurer John Murrell III:
The local lodge’s Shop with a Cop covers Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Douglas and Shannon Counties.
Murrell and the members of the lodge say they are excited to be a part of ORN Cares:
