Go, Butler!

We’re thrilled to wish the Butler Bulldogs all the best in tonight’s 2010 NCAA championship game. Butler University partnered with us this Christmas donating several items for a fan pack during our 2009 WIBC Radiothon – bet that winner is wearing/displaying that prize with pride! We’ll be watching tonight. Go Bulldogs!

If you’d like to follow Bulter’s lead and become a partner for our 2010 Radiothon, give Kristen a call at 224-1019.

WIBC Radiothon ends at $255,146

So, the Addai football went to a lovely woman who’s wrapping it up for her hubby’s Christmas gift, so I won’t spill the beans. And the final number is….$255,146!

Thanks so much to all of our hourly and in-kind sponsors – to Emmis Communications and the amazing men and women who produced the -athon, the programmers, the personalities, just everyone who’s made it easy to call Emmis’ lobby home for the past 55 hours. We would not be able to do what we’ve done without their dedication and enthusiasm.

And here are the teary thanks, so buckle up – Read more

WIBC Radiothon – it’s here!

The 2009 WIBC Radiothon is in full swing down here at the Emmis Communations building on Monument Circle. Big Joe Staysniak and Terri Stacy are wrapping up their show and we’re just about to draw the first prize package winner of the day. Thanks to our friends at Dunkin’ Donuts for not only feeding our volunteers breakfast, but also for donating the signed Adam Vinatieri hat and jersey for our Colts Fan Pack. Add in the two tickets to Sunday’s Colts game from The American Legion and you’ve got a package worth making that call to donate early!

So far, our total stands at $5,580 – not bad for a cold, December morning. But we need your help. Our goal this weekend is to raise $225,000 for our neighbors in need. We’re off to a great start. Don’t forget to check out our prize packages. There’s some great stuff out there – everything from Pacers tickets to Gerdt Furniture recliners to a couple of overnight stays downtown. Something for everyone! Oh, and don’t forget to check out our sponsor page. We have some generous business partners who’ve sponsored hours with matching funds as well as in-kind donations for those prize packages.

Don’t worry – you haven’t missed your chance to join us. To make your donation for men, women and children and need, go here or give us a call at 1-877-71-PEACE.

Thanks, ValPak and REACH magazine!

We have a phone bank sponsor! Thanks to Jim Brantley and the folks at ValPak and REACH magazine for digging deep for their neighbors in need and joining us for our 15th annual WIBC Radiothon on December 11-13.

And as much as we appreciate the support, this sponsorship comes with some great perks. Each time a WIBC personality mentions the phone number or making a pledge, we’ll encourage listeners to “Call the ValPak and REACH magazine phone bank at 877-71-PEACE”. That’s a lot of mentions throughout 55 hours!

Looking for a great way to promote your business and give back to your community, too? We welcome you to join us as an hourly sponsor. With sponsorships starting as low as $500, we have options for even modest budgets. To learn more, you can call Kristen at 224-1019 or visit our event site at WIBCRadiothon.org.

Sponsorships starting as low as $500

For 15 years, we’ve been partnering with WIBC 93.1fm to bring you the stories of the men, women and children whose lives have been changed through your support of The Salvation Army. This 55-hour Marathon of Giving is our community’s best opportunity to join us in a win-win partnership for your business and those we serve. You’ll have the chance to reach the entire listening  audience of WIBC with your message while supporting our mission!

With sponsorships starting as low as $500, it’s easy to work that into a community giving or advertising budget. Since our campaign doesn’t officially end until January 30, so you can make a sponsorship pledge and pay in 2010! So, don’t let year-end budget crunches stop you from helping your neighbors in need. Commit a portion of next year’s budget and reap the rewards during Christmas.

We’ve worked hard to make Radiothon sponsorships affordable for our partners. Read more
