The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/

The Dean of high school sports - Kevin McCabe

Who knew that a movie released 29 years ago would change the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids by giving them the opportunity to learn and play music in school?

Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation was inspired by the acclaimed motion picture of the same name, based on the true story of the impact a dedicated music teacher had on generations of students. Composer Michael Kamen, who wrote the score for the film, started the foundation in 1996 as his commitment to the future of music education.

The Foundation keeps music alive in our schools by donating high-quality instruments to deserving, under-funded music programs, and provides an array of support services to school districts. By increasing the school’s supply of quality instruments, music teachers are able to deliver a quality music education to students who want to learn.

CEO Tricia Williams joined the nonprofit nearly 25 years ago when she supervised all aspects of the program including the donation of musical instruments to schools, Music Rising and Holland’s Heroes, a group of dedicated music and arts directors representing school districts across the nation.

Keeping music alive in our schools – Tricia Williams

Brad Schneeflock knows first-hand the impact faith can have on students, so it comes as no surprise that he has dedicated himself to helping others make that same discovery.

So when he got a calling to move 1,500 miles to the Seattle-Tacoma area, he and family – including his wife Rainy and the four of their seven kids still living at home – said yes.

He accepted a mission with Northwest Collegiate Ministries in a location that had been dormant for 13 years. The organization provides a safe community for students to find friends, have fun, and explore faith. They welcome students – Christian and non-Christians alike – to experience Christ’s love and forgiveness during a season when they are making decisions that will set the path for their lives. The ministry partners with local churches who love, serve, and involve college students in the life of the church.

Not unlike a farmer preparing the ground for a crop, Brad has personally prayer walked 18 college campuses. He is now tilling field for the harvest of changing lives.

Every student, every campus – Brad Schneeflock

It’s a simple concept. Neighbors helping neighbors. Individuals, businesses, nonprofits, government, and faith communities, all working together to help older adults  in our community.

Ann Wheat first served on the Duet board in 1999 when she was still working for the City of Phoenix. When she retired as Acting Deputy Director, she joined the Duet team and in 2019 was named executive director.

Ann has been in the position of being a caretaker for a loved one. She has a special passion for Duet, which offers compassionate services to family caregivers and aging adults, free of charge. They work with four groups:
Family caregivers
Grandparents raising grandchildren
Homebound adults
Faith community nurses

Ann’s philanthropic career began as a volunteer where she founded one of the first summer camps in the nation for children with cancer, Arizona Camp Sunrise, and more recently, Arizona Lost Boys Center, a nonprofit helping Phoenix’s 500 Sudanese refugee war orphans successfully acculturate to life in a modern society. She received Arizona’s top volunteer award, the Hon Kachina, in 2012, and the Martin Luther King Junior Living the Dream Award in 2002.

Now, she is dedicating her time and talents to helping families know they are not alone.
