WIBC does “most good” with pit stop win
The WIBC winning crew and the big check for The Salvation Army.
WIBC may be the champions of the Media Pitstop Challenge, but it’s The Salvation Army who came away as the winners.
Each year the Media Pitstop Challenge is held as part of Community Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The competition features local media outlets battling it out by changing tires on an indy car. The winner of this popular event receives $5,000 to be given to the charity of their choice.
This year, for the first time in the history of the competition, WIBC won. Read the story »
Radiothon »
Will you join our team?
Most of Indy’s attention is out at the motor speedway, but here at the Salvation Army, we’re warming up for another Maration of Giving.
This December marks our 15th WIBC Radiothon on 93.1fm. And we’re thrilled to welcome back our 2008 Radiothon Chair Quinn Buckner for a second year. So, the details are beginning to come together. Mark your calendar for December 11-13!
You’ve heard the news, the economy’s been tough on individuals and businesses alike. But we know that Hoosiers take care of their own and the need is great. The Salvation Army’s seen a 20% increase in requests for basic assistance – help with housing, utilities and food. In April alone, we had 157 women and children living in our shelter!
So, as you are looking at your budget and planning your giving strategy, please remember The Salvation Army’s Radiothon. This 55 hour marathon of giving is the easiest way to make a big difference for our neighbors in need. If you’d like to learn more about sponsoring this event or donating items for our prize packages, please call Kristen at 224-1019.
