Radio One Brings Free Kirk Franklin Concert to Philadelphia to Benefit Homeless
Community Service is important to the founder of Radio One, Cathy Hughes , to celebrate 30 years of existence by honoring the people who allow our stations to thrive, exactly the sentiments of General Manager Andrew Rosen . “On the 30th Anniversary of Radio One, rather than celebrate our organization, we celebrate our community along with and look for ways to put our powerful assets on air, on line and in the street to serve the great people of Philadelphia , New Jersey and Delaware.”
Doors open at 6:00 pm, the performance will start at 7pm. Radio One Philadelphia Operations Manager Elroy Smith states,””I commend Kirk Franklin for believing that his contribution to the Homeless of Philadelphia will be remembered by thousand s in years to come. This mega entertainer could have turned his cheek the other way, but he did not and we in Philadelphia need to have the same attitude in giving to the homeless this Tuesday at Enon.”
