Sponsorships starting at $500

Becoming a Partner

Without the generosity of our partners at WIBC 93.1 FM, Radiothon wouldn’t be possible. WIBC 93.1′s gracious donation of staff and airtime is the most obvious and appreciated of sponsorship.

But we can’t forget our hourly and in-kind corporate partners whose generosity is the foundation on which to build listener pledges. It’s been a tough year for businesses, so we’re especially grateful for our partners who dig deep to come out in support of those we serve.

How does sponsorship make a difference?
According to this summer’s homelessness report, about 78% of Indy’s homeless are now families. It’s bad enough when men and women are struggling, we feel for them. But right here in Indy, over 20% of our homeless are kids – the average age of a homeless person in our city is only 9 years old!

We’ve seen about 15% more families requesting food, utility, and shelter assistance already this year. This is a tangible problem for our city that we can do something about. Funds raised through Radiothon play a vital role in supporting programs that offer food, shelter and a fresh start for our neighbors in need.
