Music Radio stations nationwide are doing good for their communities and engaging their listeners to help. This week’s roundup includes:
KRBE in Houston successfully hosted its 2nd Annual Turkey Tour with hosts Kevin and Audrey, resulting in a remarkable donation of 873 Hunger Bags, amounting to 3,000 pounds of food for the Houston Food Bank. The event took place from November 1-5 and is part of a larger initiative to address food insecurity in the Houston area, where 1 in 8 residents regularly experiences food shortages.
Rocker Z93 (WKQZ), Saginaw, MI, raised over $30,000 in community donations for the American Cancer Society’s annual Men Wear Pink fundraising campaign. These funds will support the American Cancer Society’s efforts in Mid-Michigan and the battle against breast cancer. Z93 has set a new fundraising record in the region, earning Bingham and the station a spot among the Top 30 Men Wear Pink ambassadors nationwide.
Stations in iHeartMedia’s Carolina region have partnered with meal delivery service Table & Twine and the Raleigh-based nonprofit Overflowing Hands for the initiative “A Thanksgiving To Remember.” This program aims to provide full, chef-prepared Thanksgiving meals to families in the area affected by Hurricane Helene. Additionally, B93.9 Raleigh will contribute $2 from every ticket sold for its Rising Stars Concert on November 22 at the Lincoln Theater to support this cause.
