They did a week long on air fundraiser calling it “Heroes Week” to bring attention and funds for both the San Antonio based Fisher Houses at Lackland, Brooke Army Medical Center and our newest San Antonio Fisher House located at the VA Medical Center. A special thanks to program director Peter Bolger at WOAI.
