Beating A World Record For A Cause

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month

Something really amazing is happening in Spokane, WA right now as I write this. A local Radio DJ is trying to break a world record. Big Deal you say. People do that sort of thing every day. But this DJ is not doing this to bring notoriety to himself. No, he is doing it to bring notoriety of a different kind, to a local Non-Profit Organization.

See, recently a little girl named Summer Phelps, 4 years old was abused and killed by her parents. This case has sent shock throughout the community. Maybe had the parents known about the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery they would have gotten help. Maybe Summer would be alive today.

The Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery is a friend to families in crisis. When families are facing any kind of crisis that impedes their ability to provide safe care for their children, they are here to help. They provide short-term shelter and care for children, and services to help parents create a more stable and nurturing home environment. They offer the services free of charge in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere, such as 72-hour residential child care for children under the age of seven, Parenting classes, Referrals to other community services and resources, 24-hour parenting crisis line.


Enter Keke Luv, drive time DJ for Live 104.5 in Spokane. He too was moved beyond words by this tragic event and after touring the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery he had a vision. A vision to some how raise funds for the Nursery. And what better way than to use his skills as a Disc Jockey.

So, as I write this, Keke Luv is attempting to break a world record by staying on air, with a continuous spin of music for 125 hours. And he is gathering sponsors who will pledge money for each hour that he is successful. Every penny that is pledged goes to the Vanessa Behan Crisis Center. The response has been amazing. This city has "shown some love" by calling in with pledges of anywhere from 50 cents to upwards of $2.00 per hour, and even one time donations. This has reached beyond Spokane with calls and pledges coming in from as far away as Cincinnati, OH. And we want it to reach all across the USA. If you would like to sponsor Keke and cheer him on feel free to call the 104.5 listener line at 509-789-1045

At 8:30 am PST Keke hit the 68 hour mark making him more than half way to the 125 hours and we are cheering him on. We believe that he is going to make it. because he has a passion for these children. And so do we. That is why we are sponsoring Keke and going one step further. April is Child Abuse Awareness Month and we will donate $1 from every product we sell here at Valhalla Soap Company to the Vanessa Behan Crisis Center. That's $1 from every bar of Old World Soap, or Naturals, or Milk Soaps, $1 from any product in our Body Care Line, $1 from any product in our Home Fragrance Line or $1 from any product in our Gardener's Choice Line. If you purchase 4 items we will donate $4 and so on. So please join with us, Keke Luv, and the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery to help prevent Child Abuse.

Thank You & Blessings,
