If you have ever wanted to hear your favorite song on the radio and also needed another reason to support the United Way of Door County, Friday is your lucky day. Back for the third year in a row, the United Way of Door County and U-102.1 are joining forces for the “Pay to Play for the United Way ” on December 13th. Listeners can make a $25 donation for a song already in our catalog or $50 if you want the NEW Radio staff to find your favorite. “Pay to Play for the United Way” has raised thousands of dollars each year for the United Way of Door County’s annual campaign. Executive Director Amy Kohnle says the event is also an educational day for listeners and supporters as volunteers share stories of the United Way’s local efforts in between songs.

“Pay to Play for the United Way ” runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on December 13th. Kohnle said that early last week, the United Way of Door County crossed the $500,000 mark of the campaign, making them just a touch past halfway toward their $1 million goal.
