Cumulus Media Teams with Central Pennsylvania Food Bank for St. Patrick’s Day Give Green Radiothon
Second Annual Radiothon will raise much needed funds for the Food Bank
HARRISBURG, Pa – Cumulus Media is teaming with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank for the second annual St. Patrick’s Day Give Green Radiothon, a one-day live event on March 17. All Cumulus stations in Harrisburg, York and Lancaster will be involved.
As prices for many household goods and services surge, family budgets are strained to the limit and thousands of people in central Pennsylvania are forced to make impossible choices between paying for groceries or paying for other critical needs such as heat, transportation, and childcare.
The 2022 St. Patrick’s Day Give Green Radiothon will raise money for the Food Bank so that our neighbors do not have to make these impossible choices. The Food Bank serves more than 152,000 food insecure families, children, seniors and veterans in our community every month.
“We are grateful to Cumulus Media for partnering with us once again to feed our hungry neighbors in Central Pennsylvania,” said Joe Arthur, executive director of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. “Our neighbors are still working hard to get back on their feet in the wake of the pandemic but are now facing more obstacles such as rising food costs and inflation. Every dollar donated through this campaign will help us provide six healthy, nutritious meals in our communities.” In 2021, the St. Patrick’s Day Give Green Radiothon raised nearly $25,000 providing 150,000 meals.
“Hunger is a 365-day-a-year challenge” said Ron Giovanniello, Regional Vice President of Cumulus Media. “We are asking our listeners to ‘Give Green’ again this St. Patrick’s Day, Thursday, March 17, 2022 to help the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank with the incredible, important work they do in our community. Our listeners have always been generous, and with their help we hope to raise as much money as we can to assist our friends and neighbors in need.”
The St. Patrick’s Day Radiothon is seeking monetary donations for the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and is sponsored by Lancaster Co. Motors. Participating radio station websites will have a link to donate, as will www.centralpafoodbank.org. Donations are also accepted by texting PAFOOD to 243725.
