Walking And Talking Wishes In Western New York
Make-A-Wish Western New York is hosting a Radio-Thon and a Walk For Wishes this September. Audiences in cities like Rochester and Buffalo will have 28 hours of radio entertainment and an opportunity to donate from 97 Rock. Corning, N.Y. will be a part of a nationwide Walk For Wishes fundraiser seeking to grant a multitude of Western New York wishes through fundraising efforts. Both events will benefit local children with critical illnesses by granting them life-changing wishes!
97 Rock Radio-Thon
The 97 Rock Radio-Thon is seeking to surpass a goal of $3 million raised for local wish kids. Larry Norton, a retired 97 Rock radio host, originally set this goal 22 years ago. Now, Norton is coming out of retirement to finish what he started.
All funds raised from this event will stay is Western New York, and will help to grant wishes over the next two years. From 6 a.m. on Sept. 22 until 10 a.m. on Sept. 23, listeners will have the chance to conquer the goal and make a big impact on the lives of local children. Programming for this event will include amazing auction packages, wish interviews and very special guests. Tune in to 97 Rock to experience this exciting wish-granting event.
