At age 13, Kellie Rasberry, co-host of the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, won a car through a Pepsi contest. Little did she know, one day she would give others the same opportunity.
“I looked at my cap and it said ‘car,’” Rasberry explained during an episode of Kidd Nation. Rasberry had just opened a bottle Pepsi and her prize was written on the bottom of the soda cap.
But at 13 years old, Rasberry could not drive the car — a Chevy Manza stick shift with A.M. radio and no a/c. She explained that her dad took her to pick up the car that afternoon and he drove it off the lot after a short interview with a local television station.
“Daddy sold it to the cheer director at Florence Christian School,” Rasberry told Local Profile.
Despite the fact she couldn’t drive the car, she was excited by the slim chances of winning. But now, Rasberry has the chance to create the same excitement for others through Kidd’s Kids.
