Help those touched by rare disease find community and support.
Dave has been involved in the field of radio for over 40 years; he worked as a producer for WJAR radio and filled in for the other hosts. In 1981, Dave joined WARA in Attleboro, Massachusetts and eventually became station manager. From that point forward, Dave carved a successful niche in Rhode Island talk radio, spending time at various stations throughout the region, including WPRO and WHJJ, two of the largest and most powerful talk stations in the state. Since January of 2014, Dave has been a weekend host on WARA Saturday mornings. His show Kane and Company can currently be heard in the 9am-12pm time slot.
Dave's fundraising and charity efforts include Misgivings, and Just for Funds (a concept in which the venue and entertainment are provided for fundraising organizations). Dave also created Christmas is For Kids. Each year, this charity provides gifts to an average of 800 to 1,000 children in need each Christmas. This program started in 1983 and is supported by the Greater Attleboro Area Council for Children.
