Kalamazoo's Roof Sit: A Community's Stand Against Child Abuse

Kalamazoo's Roof Sit event is back! Find out how this 27-year tradition raises funds for children facing abuse right here in Southwest Michigan.

Did you know that Kalamazoo County receives 13 child abuse reports a day? That is just the reported cases. That's why 103.3 KFR has teamed up with the Community Healing Center for Roof Sit every year for the last 27 years. We are raising money to support treatment for children who have been sexually or physically abused, treatment and healing for their families, as well as intensive support for parents, infants, toddlers, and children who are facing significant challenges.

Dana and Jess will live on the roof of Helzberg Diamonds at the corner of Westnedge and Milham Road in Portage from Thursday, May 22nd, until Saturday, May 24th. We have incredible events lined up, and we hope to meet every single one of you. But first, here's how you can help us get to our goal of $90,000.
