LOS ANGELES, August 25, 2015 – Last week, Johnjay and Rich - hosts of the Premiere Networks syndicated Johnjay & Rich Show – continued the #LoveUp movement by partnering with Cox Communications to help Phoenix-area foster care children get ready for the new school year.
As part of the special Johnjay & Rich Care for Kids Foundation event, more than 200 children were invited to Lucky Strike for an afternoon of bowling, food and fun, and everyone left with a brand new backpack stuffed with school supplies. In addition to helping hand out the backpacks, Cox Communications also presented the Foundation with a donation of $5,000.
