West Coast Tacos to feed WIBC Radiothon volunteers

Our volunteers are really in for a treat when the guys from West Coast Tacos stop by and share the tacos that are making them all the rage in Indy.

We appreciate WCT’s generosity and support as we set our sights on having enough pledges to provide 50,000 meals and 2,500 safe nights of shelter for Hoosiers in 2011. And by Sunday lunch, our volunteers will have put in dozens of hours to help out their neighbors in need.

Thanks to all of our generous meal sponsors for helping out this year. Know of an area restaurant or bakery that would be willing to provide breakfast either Friday, Saturday or Sunday of Radiothon (12/3-5)? If you do, have them call Kristen at 224-1019.

Kroger puts in the ‘gift’ in gift card

Thanks to Kroger, 5 WIBC Radiothon pledgers will have some extra Christmas goodies. Who couldn’t use an extra $50 in groceries during the holidays? We appreciate the 5, $50 gift cards and we know our listeners will too.

Got an idea for a prize package? Give Kristen a call at 224-1019.

Markey’s to provide equipment for Radiothon

Loads of gratitude to our friends at Markey’s Rental and Staging for donating the use of a couple of large screen televisions and cabling for our upcoming WIBC Radiothon. A long-time partner for Radiothon, Markey’s is our official audio/visual equipment sponsor. Every time the WIBC personalities announce new pledges, they’ll turn to the “Markey’s tote board” for updates. Their support makes communication easy and accurate during a very busy event.

Markey’s makes sponsoring look easy, don’t they? We’d love to include your business in this year’s Radiothon. To sponsor an hour or donate items for prize packages, give Kristen a call at 224-1019.

IU Sports Properties donates two packages for Radiothon

If you’re an IU Hoosiers fan, have we got a reason (well, at least two reasons) for you to tune in to the WIBC Radiothon December 3-5. IU Sports Properties has donated two prize packages for you generous pledgers. Each one will include some IU goodies as well as a pair of tickets – one for the December 17 game, one for the December 19 game. Exciting, huh? I’d tell you what else is in the package, but we have to have some element of surprise, right?

Thanks, IU Sports Properties for your support. And, go Hoosiers!

Why should I give?

Probably the first question you ask yourself when presented with a request from a charity like The Salvation Army, right? So, if you’re wondering why you should sponsor an hour or donate a prize package for our WIBC Radiothon this December 3-5, you should let Donna* tell you in her own words.  

My name is Donna. My life has been saved! This is a literal statement because the abuse from my husband had progressed to the point where he was going to kill me. And even worse than that he would have done so in front of my three children. He had never abused the children before, but the signs were all present and I knew it was just a matter of time before he started on them too.

People say, “Leave him! Go!” But where do you go? Read more
