For the fourth year in a row, listeners can play DJ while helping United Way of Door County reach its annual campaign goal. Pay to Play with United Way will take place Friday, Dec. 19, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
This year, the event will air on 96.7 WBDK, Door County’s Christmas Playlist, a departure from previous years when it aired on U-102.1. United Way board members will join the Door County Media Group team on the air to discuss the organization’s work in the community.
Want them to stop talking? A $25 donation interrupts the banter with a song request of your choice from the WBDK catalog. For audiophiles with more obscure tastes, a $50 donation lets listeners choose any song. A $100 donation allows donors to skip the line and hear their song immediately.
United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle said the event has been a great way to tap into nostalgia while shining a spotlight on the organization.
As of Friday, United Way of Door County was nearing the halfway mark of its $1.2 million goal, with more than $545,000 in donations and pledges tabulated.
