The Joan Hamburg Show on WOR Radio 710 Loves Second Chance Toys

During the commercial break, Emme who was sitting in for Joan Hamburg must have gone onto the SCT website because once back on air, she was so excited about the mission of the organization and urged people who wanted to donate toys or start chapters to go to our website.
