The Outdoor Dream Foundation is a non-profit here in South Carolina and was founded by Coach Harold Jones. (The coach who part of the movie Radio was about). If not familiar, The Outdoor Dream Foundation is 100% volunteer based and sponsors children who are terminally ill due to life threatening diseases and helps them fulfill dreams in the outdoors to hunt, fish, etc. I personally have helped with some of the events and have witnessed the unbelievable impact of this organization. Again, it is 100% volunteer driven.  

That said, the donations are down due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the limited ability to host fundraisers. Looking for innovative ways to raise funds, The Outdoor Dream Foundation is selling commemorative T-shirts with Radio on them as Radio was deeply involved with Coach Jones and his family! In addition to getting a t-shirt, whoever buys a t-shirt also gets put into a raffle for a prize package with all kinds of cool items Radio loved! 

I say all that to say this, would you consider having one of your team interview Coach Harold Jones and possibly doing a news story about The Outdoor Dream Foundation which is so very near and dear to his heart and the hearts of many in South Carolina and beyond? Perhaps you could do an article about the Coach, Radio and the outdoor dream foundation and how it came about and promote the t-shirts in an effort to help raise money for the kids. The movie Radio has such close ties to the Lowcountry and I personally feel a story about the actual Coach Harold Jones would certainly be a hot story among readers/viewers as many don’t know anything about him, we just know what was shown in the movie Radio. 

Thank you for your time and consideration! Coach Harold Jones direct phone number is (864)226-8775. Let him know, Doug Mixson, Jr. gave it to you.

You can read more about the Outdoor Dream Foundation at Outdoordream.org or on Facebook, The Outdoor Dream Foundation. 

Once COVID dies down, I challenge you to attend one of the events hosted by the Outdoor Dream Foundation for the kids. Your life wont be the same, mine has not been…..

Thank you!
