The Hollister School was the site of a recent radiothon, raising money for the Hollister Schools Foundation. The Foundation, founded in 2009, was designed to serve the needs of the Hollister Schools and students, helping them to achieve their academic goals and prepare for their future. The Foundation strives to break down the learning barriers that some students face, and serves the needs of students through programs and partnerships that offer love, hope and encouragement to students.

Local radio personality Josh Grisham, serves as the Vice Chair of the Hollister Schools Foundation. An on-air personality, Grisham can be heard daily on My 100.1 KOMC FM. Grisham hosted the event, during which students, parents, community leaders and others made financial contributions towards the Hollister Schools Foundation.

“I’m pleased to be able to utilize the reach of My 100.1 FM to help accomplish the fiscal vision of the foundation,” said Grisham.
