San Diego, CA — Hardy Instruments and KOGO 600AM, one of Clear Channel's eleven radio stations in San Diego, teamed up on September 7, 2005 to collect "a ton of change" for Storm Aid. Clear Channel’s radio stations asked San Diegans to collect all of their spare change and to donate their change, dollar bills and checks to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina with the goal of raising at least "a ton of cash" during the one-day event. Hardy Instruments provided a giant industrial-size (6 foot by 6 foot) scale on site to measure the weight of the donations as they came in. Over 14 hours, Clear Channel San Diego collected an estimated $275,000, and over 7200 pounds of coins.
