Help Cobras Hockey Club Collect Turkeys at WGN Remote Broadcast

A south suburban high school hockey club is pairing a good cause with a remote WGN radio broadcast at Stacked Pancake House in Oak Lawn this Saturday.

The Cobras High School Hockey Club will be collecting frozen turkeys and monetary donations for Together We Cope, a non-profit agency based in Tinley Park that assists families in crisis from 22 Southland communities.

The hockey club -- which draws players from Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, Stagg, Andrew, Chi-Tech, Shepard, Richards, Tinley Park and Oak Forest high schools -- will be rounding up turkeys in front of Stacked at 5273 W. 95th St., in Oak Lawn, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“This gift of a holiday turkey will be greatly appreciated by families who might not be able to afford it this season because of a crisis in their lives such as unemployment or illness,” said Kathryn Straniero, executive director of TWC. “To have their neighbors reach out and remember them this holiday is a very special gesture, and we are grateful to the Cobras Hockey Club for helping us to make this happen.”

Helping to make donated turkeys come pouring in is WGN Radio’s Lou “Mr. Fix-It” Manfredini, who will be broadcasting his popular weekly show live from Stacked, between 7 and 10 a.m.

Diners are also invited to come to Stacked just like any other Saturday morning and enjoy delicious breakfast items while learning the latest home improvement tips.

Home improvement-expert Manfredini has cultivated a loyal following of listeners through his highly entertaining show that offers a unique blend of practical, useful and valuable home improvement advice.

Manfredini is also a contributor to NBC’s “Today Show” and appears on Al Roker’s “Wake With Al” on the Weather Channel.

All donations collected on Saturday will be distributed to local food pantries assisted by Together We Cope.
