Connoisseur Media’s 99.1 WPLR is bringing back its annual “Three Men and a Box” fundraiser, as morning hosts Chaz and AJ team up with WFSB Channel 3 meteorologist Scot Haney for 24 hours of confinement, questionable entertainment and charitable giving in support of the Chaz and AJ Crabtree Motor Group Toy Drive.

Beginning Thursday, November 12 at 9:00 AM, the trio will spend 24 consecutive hours living together inside a box at Colonial Toyota, located at 470 Boston Post Road in Milford, CT, raising funds to benefit local children and families during the holiday season.

As if spending an entire day and night together in a confined space isn’t challenging enough, the three will also endure an annoying song playing on a continuous loop throughout the experience. This year, listeners voted for the theme from Yoshi’s Story as the soundtrack to their confinement, adding another layer of frustration to the already unconventional fundraiser.

Now a popular holiday tradition, “Three Men and a Box” brings listeners, viewers and the community together for a unique fundraising experience featuring special guests, surprise appearances and updates from inside the box throughout the 24-hour challenge.

“If our discomfort can bring a little comfort and joy to some kids who could really use it this holiday season, then let’s do this thing!” said Chaz.

Haney, who participated in the challenge with Chaz last year, added, “I can’t believe I’m doing this again! The weather is going to be terrible, and I’m so excited!”

Community members are encouraged to visit Colonial Toyota throughout the event to make monetary donations and show their support as the trio attempts to make it through 24 hours together. Donations can also be made online at WPLR.com.

The fundraiser leads up to the annual Chaz and AJ Crabtree Motor Group Toy Drive on Friday, December 11, at Jordan’s Furniture in New Haven. The WPLR morning show will broadcast live from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, collecting toys and monetary donations for local children’s charities.

The annual Toy Drive benefits several Connecticut organizations dedicated to supporting children and families in need, helping provide toys, essential resources and assistance during the holiday season.
