Tampa Bay’s Morning Krewe and 99.5 QYK recognize our hometown heroes each week. What is a hometown hero? Someone who is dedicated to helping others and is always devoted to their work. A hometown hero could be almost anybody, like a veteran/active duty military member, a firefighter, police officer, first responder, nurses, etc. If you know someone who is a first responder here in the Tampa Bay area who deserves to be recognized, nominate them to be a Hometown Hero so we can honor them on 99.5 QYK.
We’ve teamed up with our good friends at Crown Buick GMC and Demesmin & Dover to recognize first responders every Friday morning. We’d like to show our appreciation by offering $200 in gift cards.
This is just our way of saying thank you for your hard work and dedication and for being part of our QYK Family.
