Mark your calendars for the 30th Anniversary WIBC Radiothon for The Salvation Army Presented by Financial Center. This beloved holiday tradition brings the Central Indiana community together to support local families in need each December.

This year, The Salvation Army of Central Indiana aims to raise $430,000 to provide critical assistance to families throughout the next year. Donations will support essential programs, including food pantries, rental and utility assistance, and other services that help families regain stability.

Listeners will get to hear their favorite WIBC hosts, including Terri Stacy, Jason Hammer, Nigel Laskowski, Rob Kendall, Casey Daniels, Pat Sullivan, Denny Smith, Matt Bair, and Ryan Hedrick. Executive Producer Mel McMahon will join the hosts throughout the entire 36-hour broadcast, along with dozens of special guests.

The WIBC Radiothon for The Salvation Army Presented by Financial Center will also feature live music performances on Saturday, adding even more holiday cheer to this special event. 

“The WIBC Radiothon is a cornerstone of our efforts to help families across Central Indiana," said Major Malinda O'Neil, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of Central Indiana. “We’re so grateful for 30 years of support from WIBC and the incredible generosity of Hoosiers.
