Audacy’s 830 WCCO held its 19th annual radiothon in Minneapolis on November 16, benefiting Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities. The radiothon raised over $365,000, providing over 186,000 meals and care to those in need. This brings the fundraising total to over $3.6 million since 2003.
Throughout the radiothon, broadcast live from UGM’s St. Paul campus, WCCO conducted interviews and encouraged listeners to donate through phone banks. Donations supported Union Gospel Mission, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping people facing homelessness, poverty and addiction. The radiothon is part of Audacy’s commitment to supporting the communities it serves.
