The 31st anniversary WIBC Radiothon for The Salvation Army has been a holiday tradition in Indianapolis. We’re planning another powerful two-day broadcast full of inspiration, stories of impact, and opportunities for our community to come together again. And we’d love for YOU to be part of it.
The live broadcast will be hosted by popular 93.1 WIBC on-air personalities, including Pat Sullivan, Denny Smith, Terri Stacy, Matt Bair, Ryan Hedrick, Jason Hammer, Nigel Laskowski, Rob Kendall, and Casey Daniels. WIBC Radiothon Executive Producer Mel McMahon is back and will join hosts on air throughout the entire broadcast.
The Salvation Army has seen an increase in requests for assistance. A new goal has been set to raise $450,000 to continue funding vital programs in Central Indiana that help families, individuals, and children in need for the holidays and all year round.
The WIBC Radiothon kicks off at 6:00 a.m. on Friday, December 12 and wraps up at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 13. Throughout the live broadcast, listeners will get to hear from the people closest to The Salvation Army's services in Central Indiana, including staff, pastors, clients, volunteers, and donors to the organization.
Live music will also play a big part in the broadcast on Saturday as local performers help to put listeners and shoppers at Sullivan Hardware and Gardens in a Christmas spirit. Shoppers are invited to stop by to watch the musical groups perform.
