NOVEMBER 19-21 THE LARGEST FOOD DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY... 94.9 ZETA'S MARATHON FOOD
DRIVE... RETURNS TO OUTDOOR WORLD
94.9 ZETA'S (WZTA-FM) Rock & Roll Reveille are set to break their Holiday Food Drive record from last year when they raised over 245 tons of non-perishable food for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Join Paul Castronovo, Young Ron Brewer, Toast and a cast of local celebrities beginning at 6:00am on Monday, November 19 and continuing through Wednesday, November 21 at noon. The marathon broadcast returns to the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, located at 200 Gulfstream Way in Dania, between Griffin and Stirling Roads at I-95. As all three members of ZETA's Reveille literally live at Outdoor World, they stay awake and broadcast each and every hour, with the help of a string of local celebrities and nationally known famous folks, all in the effort to feed the families in need this Holiday season.

To help encourage donations and beat last year's incredible 245 tons of food, many companies have offered large prizes for the individuals who
donate the most food hourly--each and every hour. Some clubs and organizations that are already doing their part include the Broward County
Seminole and Gator Clubs (who are going head-to-head to see who can donate the most food) and Weston Moving (donating their trucks and services to
help the cause). Keep your radios tuned to 94.9 ZETA to see how you can help us beat last year's record.

This year's food drive is brought to you by The Sun-Sentinel, Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, BrandsMart USA and the rock station that helps to feed all of South Florida and the world - 94.9 ZETA.
