Hi everyone! As you all know, marathon is happening right now until tomorrow 1 PM. Right now, Jason Issac is doing the PJB Memorial on air from now until 8:30 PM. You can listen in on our website at www.whrw.fm

As a reminder, WHRW is celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the Paul J. Battaglia Marathon! This tradition was started to help fundraise money for the Paul J. Battaglia scholarship fund, which was created in honor of one of WHRW’s former General Managers (1998-2000). After graduating from Binghamton University’s School of Management in 2000, he got a job working for Marsh Risk Consulting in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. Paul fell victim to the attacks of 9/11, and in his honor the scholarship fund was started, and so was WHRW’s annual PJB Marathon. Every year, we broadcast a full 24 hours of programming to celebrate Paul’s life and his contributions to the station.

Hello Radio Lovers and WHRW Alumni!

Marathon 2024 will be happening from March 22-23 from 1 PM to 1 PM!

What is Marathon?
Marathon is a longstanding WHRW Tradition, this year being its 22nd Anniversary. We hold this event in memory of Paul J Battaglia, who was a GM of WHRW from 1998-2000, who fell victim on 9/11. To honor him, we hold a 24-hour-long marathon where we mess around and play games, all while encouraging listeners to donate money to the scholarship fund that was created in his name.

In addition to playing games and holding skits on air, we also have lots of stuff going on throughout the rest of the station! There will be games and movies in the station lobby and in the conference room, people use CR-2 to make carts, and in general, it’s just a great opportunity to just hang out! It is a great time to meet people in WHRW and get to know us.

We will be posting more information regarding marathon, donations to WHRW, and the Paul J. Battaglia Scholarship fund!
