Orlando & The Freakshow

WILD 94.1’s Orlando’s Toy Drive – Cribs Edition

Author Christine Peters

Orlando is still living on the Toy Drive Tower collecting donations and toys for The Children’s Home Network. This is the 11th year of this amazing event, and we are still pushing through! The Children’s Home Network is an organization that provides potential for at-risk children and families by providing compassionate and effective services that create opportunities for success.

Orlando lives on this tower for 8 days. He sleeps, eats, and everything else on top of the tower for 8 days! Our partners at ABC Action News and Robert Boyd came through yesterday and did a “Cribs” segment on this amazing event.

Orlando is up there till tomorrow (Saturday Dec. 10) 5PM. There is still time to donate! Link is below if you want to donate online, or address below if you want to stop by the Toy Tower

Thank you to our city, sponsors, and every single person that has donated! We appreciate each and every single one of you!

Orlando's Toy Drive Shower Science

It’s that time of year. Orlando is taking to the skies and sleeping on a 35-foot tower to help raise money and toys for Children’s Home Network. These 8 days where we gather donations are not for comfort but for necessity. While O is up in the sky, we often get some personal questions on how he stays fresh and clean enough to give hugs to the listeners who drop off donations.

Listeners always want insight into the toy drive so we want to share the Orlando toy drive shower science. Without a functioning shower, 8 days atop a 35-foot scaffold can be a challenge. Add 80-degree days and emotionally charged hugs become a bigger challenge. However, with a few key products, and a trusted routine, O. is able to stay huggable and fresh. The toy tower doesn’t have running water, so the easiest things like brushing your teeth become a chore. You’ll also probably hear the words “Epic Wipes” a lot, during the drive because they’re a game changer for his freshness. It’s funny that while showering is popular, it’s the second most asked question behind “How do you go poo?” We’ll keep this fun, camping tutorial to Orlando’s toy drive shower science, and leave the rest for another time. lol.

How YOU can get involved:

What started as a 5-day event, eventually grew to EIGHT nights of giving. But each year one thing remains the same, Orlando will climb 30 feet in the air and sleep in a tower to raise money and gifts for the children of the Children’s Home Network in Tampa Bay. Getting involved is simple. You can click this link to donate online or head to 250 Westshore Plaza in Tampa (where the old Sears used to be) to drop off any donations. Or you can simply help spread the word! We’ll be taking donations until Saturday, December 9 at 5pm.

  • Step 1 - Warm The Wipe

    wipe step 1
    As soon as I’m up, I open the package and lay out the wipe because they are crazy cold. Even though it may not “warm” is lessens the shock.  While you wait, you can gather your fit for the day or handle the teeth brushing.  I keep a room bottle of water, for that.

  • Step 2 - This Trunk is a lifesaver

    Trunk lifesaver

    While the wipe sits out, trunk time. This truck is my dresser, closet, desk, etc., and while my toiletries and needs rest on top, as seen, we can remove the stuff and grab gear for the day.

  • Showertime Numbers

    shower numbers

    When doing 8 days, I cant burn thru a bunch of my wipes, so every morning I maximize the usage with this numbering system.  I keep enough for 2 wipes per day, but this system works really well with keeping me clean and for keeping a surplus of smell goods, just in case Vida Guerra or Lupita Nuyong’o stop by to profess  their love.  Number system works like this.  1) Face 2)Ears/Neck 3)Chest 4)Arms 5)Underarms then flip and fold with one side serving my legs and the opposite side for my lower map of Manhattan.

  • Feels So Fresh

    Face First

    Face is always first with the aforementioned section 1. No dirt makes it to your face, and your get all the sleepies and crust off from a night of tent sleeping.

  • Hit Those Ears

    I ear you

    Ears are important, and neglected by many. No q-tip needed, dive in with wipe section 2.

  • Say It With Your Chest

    Chest Work

    Feel clean me with section 3, of your wipe. Still working with clean material so you’re winning.

  • When Done, Trash Only Sees This

    So Fresh So Clean
    Did my legs and undercarriage sans the cam shoot, since this is a family show, BUTT (lol) after your so fresh and so clean, you roll up your wipe, push it into the package and your trash is ready, when you add your bottle from the toothbrushing. Nice and neat.
