3 Days. 3 Ways.

Only three days a year will you be able to do so much for others, so easily! Our WIBC Radiothon is a three-day live fundrasising event on WIBC 93.1fm. During these three days, WIBC personalities will donate their on-air programming to share the stories of the men, women and children whose lives have been changed through the generosity of our individual and corporate partners. So, that’s the 3 days; here’s the 3 ways. We’re focusing on a need each day – Friday is homelessness and domestic violence, Saturday is kids’ programs and Sunday is disaster services.

The success of this year’s Radiothon is crucial to our funding of the coming year’s programs. These programs provide refuge to those fleeing domestic violence, shelter to homeless moms and kids, after-school and summer programs for at-risk Indy kids and support for families after natual disasters. And the need is great – we’ve seen a 23% increase in requests for assistance at our Social Service Center in the first half of 2008. And requests will only continue to rise as the cold weather comes.

They say it’s better to give than receive – but what if you could do BOTH? You (as a company, group or individual) can give to help those struggling right here in your community. You’ll recieve on-air mentions during your sponsored hour, publicity on our site and in our newsletter, the opportunity to join us on-air and tell listeners about why you support us (receiving great p.r. and general goodwill), and a sweet tax deduction right at the end of the year! Give AND receive.

Want to know more? Give me (Kristen) a call at 224-1019 or drop me an e-mail at Kristen_Grills@usc.salvationarmy.org. We’re just beginning to fill our sponsor schedule, so there’s plenty of opportunity to help us help those who need it most.
