IU Sports Properties donates two packages for Radiothon

If you’re an IU Hoosiers fan, have we got a reason (well, at least two reasons) for you to tune in to the WIBC Radiothon December 3-5. IU Sports Properties has donated two prize packages for you generous pledgers. Each one will include some IU goodies as well as a pair of tickets – one for the December 17 game, one for the December 19 game. Exciting, huh? I’d tell you what else is in the package, but we have to have some element of surprise, right?

Thanks, IU Sports Properties for your support. And, go Hoosiers!

Jillian’s donates first prize packages of 2010 WIBC Radiothon

Just met with our friends from Jillian’s Indianapolis and we’re thrilled to announce the first prize packages of the season. If you’re not familiar, Jillian’s is like a Chuck E. Cheese for grown-ups, but better. You’ll enjoy great food and interactive video games, cosmic bowling and billiards. (And let me tell you, the brownie bites are A-MA-ZING!) Located right downtown Indianapolis, it’s central to everywhere and not just like anywhere. Sounds like a great time, right? Absolutely!

Ready for a little holiday (or post-holiday) fun? Jillian’s has donated three prizes packages, each valued at $275. Each package includes a VIP party for 15 guests, a 7000 point Amazing Game Card and 1-hour of billiards play!

So, now you know the bar has been set high. We’re looking for more great packages to add some excitement and incentive for pledgers during Radiothon on December 3-5. Got any ideas? Give me (Kristen) a call at 224-1019.

Thanks, Valpak and REACH Magazine!

We have a phone bank sponsor! Thanks to Jim Brantley and the folks at ValPak and REACH magazine for digging deep for their neighbors in need and joining us for our 16th annual WIBC Radiothon on December 3-5.

And as much as we appreciate the support, this sponsorship comes with some great perks. Each time a WIBC personality mentions the phone number or making a pledge, we’ll encourage listeners to “Call the ValPak and REACH magazine phone bank at 877-71-PEACE”. That’s a lot of mentions across an entire weekend!

Looking for a great way to promote your business and give back to your community, too? We welcome you to join us as an hourly sponsor. Check out our sponsor video with Zup and Big Joe. With sponsorships starting as low as $500, we have options for even modest budgets. To learn more, you can call Kristen at 224-1019 or visit our sponsorship page here at WIBCRadiothon.org.

One to go

Last package of the day – the Family Fun pack. Treat your family to an Indiana Ice game (4 passes), a trip to the Indianapolis Zoo (2 passes and parking) and get there with a $50 Marathon gas card. You’ve got until noon to get your donation in at the ValPak and REACH magazine Phone Bank at 1-877-71-PEACE.

The house is full

We’ve got a large group from am/pm convenience stores manning the ValPak and REACH magazine Phone Bank. So, we’ll need your help keeping them busy. If you haven’t had a chance to phone in that pledge, we’d love to hear from you!

This next program with Ed (of HANK 97.1fm’s Wank and O’Brien) has got a great prize pack - the Butler Fan Pack. Every caller is eligible for this pack that includes a voucher for 4 tickets to an upcoming Butler Bulldogs basketball game, a signed Butler basketball, a logo blanket and a rug. Good stuff for the Butler fan in your family – and really, who isn’t?

Just in time for Christmas

Until the end of Brizzi’s show at 5pm, we have a great prize package available. How about a Klipsch home theater system, a Weber Grill gift basket and three classic Christmas DVDs. It’s a package valued at about $1,350. If you’re so inclined to support our kids’ programs, this is a great time to get in on a package that will make a fantastic  gift this Christmas! Call our ValPak and REACH magazine Phone Bank at 1-877-71-PEACE or make your secure donation here.

Marathon Oil and an Anthony Gonzalez football

The phones have been hot all afternoon, but they seem to be takin a break. We’d like to hear them ringing. Carl Brizzi’s show has taken the booth and Marathon Oil is matching donations up to $1,000 for the remainder of the hour. Marathon has also donated several gas cards that have been sprinkled throughout Radiothon.

Now’s the time to call, we’ve got an Anthony Gonzalez autographed Colts football available for the first caller to pledge $25/month this year.

Our Chair calls in

Even though he’s on the road with the Indiana Pacers, our 2009 WIBC Radiothon Chair, Quinn Buckner carved out a few minutes to call in and share a little about why he partners with The Salvation Army for this event. Quinn and Pacers Sports & Entertainment have been generous to our organization over the years, especially during the Christmas season. They’ve donated two pairs of tickets each hour to both the 2008 and 2009 WIBC Radiothon events as well as a couple of great prize packages. Last year, during the hour of Quinn’s call-in and in Jim Morris’ call-in, we raised about $6,000 for fellow Hoosiers in need!

Quinn’s offering a great incentive to call and make your pledge now – a $200 gift card to the Home Court gift shop at Conseco Fieldhouse. What a great Christmas gift or even a treat for yourself. So, from now until the end of this program, you’ve got a chance to call our ValPak and REACH magazine Phone Bank at 1-877-71-PEACE and make your donation.

And don’t forget to catch Jim Morris’ call tomorrow morning at about 9:30 to hear about Jim’s support of The Salvation Army and the prize he’s offering to those who call in their support.

How ’bout a Night on the Town?

During Steve Simpson’s show (3-7pm) we’ll be hosting a fantastic prize package for a romantic night on the town. How about 2 tickets to the Indianapolis Symphony, a carriage ride from Yellow Rose Carriage, a $50 Palomino dining card and an overnight stay at the Omni Severin Indianapolis? Sounds like a lovely break from the hustle and bustle of the holidays!

If you’ve been waiting to make that pledge, now might be the chance to win a fabulous prize for a loved one while “doing the most good”! Call our ValPak and REACH magazine Phone Bank at 1-877-71-PEACE or make your donation here.
