In this unprecedented time, iHeart Radio in Rochester, MN would like to call upon all citizens in the state of Minnesota to join us in paying tribute to the men and women who put their own health aside to care for our community.Health Care employees, First Responders, Law Enforcement, Truck Drivers, Pharmacy employees, Grocery and Convenience Store employees, Sanitation workers and anyone helping our community in this time of need.On Wednesday April 8, 2020 we ask that everyone across the state of Minnesota show your support for these essential employees by turning on your porch light from 7 p.m. – 12 a.m.
Mark Clark, Program Director with iHeart radio in Rochester, MN: “Trying to coordinate a tribute is more challenging in our environment right now but it is so important.We can’t ask people to gather, we can’t ask people to go out and get a ribbon so we ask, what we believe, is the most socially responsible way to pay tribute to these men and women by simply turning on their porch light.I can only imagine what these employees are feeling on a daily basis and it is important for us to show them the support and respect that they deserve.
