Radical Life’s Radical Champions fundraising campaign is continuing in Emporia, with an October 27 update highlighting its November finish and support for families in the community.
Community Impact Director Jacinda Rowson and participant Darby Cochran Wilson discussed the campaign during KVOE’s Tuesday morning program. The report says each champion has a $1,000 fundraising goal and that the campaign closes on November 13.
What is the Radical Champions campaign?
The fundraiser supports Radical Life, an organization based at 528 Sylvan Street in Emporia. Its official website describes a family-strengthening program addressing poverty and helping families build stability.
The campaign gives community participants a way to raise money for that work. A participant’s goal should be distinguished from the amount collected across the entire campaign: the October 27 report does not supply a verified overall total.

How the organization describes its family programs
Radical Life outlines a three-phase approach on its website. The first phase uses a 25-week process to help participants identify goals with facilitators and coaches. The following phase focuses on putting those plans into practice through classes linked to participants’ needs.
The organization lists areas such as job skills, parenting and financial stability. A later phase pairs participants with volunteer Learning Friends for continued support and community connection.
That program description explains the work behind the fundraising appeal. It is the organization’s account of its approach, rather than an independent evaluation of individual outcomes.
November raffle is part of the latest update
KVOE also reports a November 11 raffle involving quarter-carat diamond earrings donated by Kari’s Diamonds and Bridal. The published ticket prices are $5 for one or $20 for five.
People seeking current raffle arrangements or other ways to participate can contact Radical Life directly. Its official website lists 620-208-7004 and office@radicallifeemporia.com.
What comes next before the campaign closes?
The remaining period gives organizers time to report further campaign activity and, eventually, the result. The dates in the latest update place the raffle before the November 13 finish.
Residents can use the organization’s own contact information to confirm details as those dates approach. The current news is the campaign’s continuing local appeal and its announced November timetable.
