KCRG-TV9 is proud to continue the tradition of supporting and celebrating charitable organizations and events through our Show You Care program. KCRG-TV9 is committed to being a strong partner as we annually support nearly 100 community events throughout Eastern Iowa.

All of the support offered through the Show You Care program happens because of the time, dedication, and generosity of our sponsors. Without them, the program would not be possible. We recognize with sincere gratitude the support of Mercy Medical Center, Dave Wright Subaru, Eells & Tronvold Law Offices and the GreenState Credit Union.

Show You Care Support Request

If you have a local event and would like the support of KCRG-TV9′s Show You Care program, please submit a Support Request below. Each month the Show You Care “Careforce” meets to determine which events to sponsor. The Careforce is comprised of our Show You Care Sponsors and representatives from KCRG-TV9.

The Careforce meets the first Tuesday of every month to consider all requests, so we ask all submissions be completed by the last Tuesday of each month prior for consideration. Requests must also be submitted 90 days prior to the event. Those submitted within 90 days of the event will be reviewed and considered based on availability due to a large volume of requests.

Each year, KCRG-TV9 and our Show You Care Sponsors honor outstanding volunteers throughout Eastern Iowa with the 9 Who Care Awards.

The 9 Who Care award recipients are featured during a newscast and honored at a ceremony in February.

Of these nine winners, one finalist will travel to Washington, D.C. to represent Eastern Iowa in a national competition for a Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Award.
