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.
NEW Radio President and CEO Bryan Mazur is excited for you to call in on Friday, not just to say hello, but to support a great cause. "I'm extremely excited that we are able to host "Pay 2 "Play" for a third year. Working hand in hand with the United Way is a fun and enlightening experience. I personally look forward to all the requests and guests that we have throughout the day. If you are considering a donation to the United Way, this is a great way to have a little extra fun with it or if you have never given to the United Way and you just want to hear your favorite songs, we would love to hear from you, too. All donations are welcome. As an added bonus, if you have always wanted to hear yourself on the radio, call us, and you can be on the air for a donation. We are doing all of this to help our neighbors right here in Door County."
“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.
