On Saturday, March 14, 2009, the Owego Kiwanis Club will broadcast its 47th Annual Radio Day on News Radio 1330 AM / 107.9 FM WEBO.

 The Owego Kiwanis Club is actively looking for sponsors for their 47th Annual Radio Day Broadcast on WEBO 1330 AM / 107.9 FM.  The Kiwanis Radio Day is an annual fundraiser for the Owego Kiwanis Club supporting the youth activities of our community.

 For a $100 donation, the sponsor will be included in several of the 25 promotional ads to be run the week before Radio Day and two  thirty second radio ads on March 14 during the Radio Day program.  A $300 donation equates to an hour sponsorship and some airtime for your business or organization.

 Kiwanis is a thriving organization of men, women and youth dedicated to serving the children of the world and improving the quality of life worldwide. Owego Kiwanis is celebrating 84 years of serving the youth of our community.

 Owego Kiwanis President Dan Sloat stated, "Serving the youth of our community is a primary mission of Kiwanis.  Radio Day is always a wonderful opportunity to assist local children's programming through business sponsorships.  The enduring partnership with WEBO has benefited the youth activities in this region for decades."

 News Radio 1330 WEBO is Owego's only local radio station and is run by Dave Radigan the President & General Manager of Radigan Broadcasting. Radigan stated, "Kiwanis Radio Day is an exciting annual event for the Kiwanis Club and we're proud that we can help make it happen."  The station prides itself on being the Southern Tier's local news leader, providing at least 26 local newscasts each weekday, as well as broadcasting Football and Basketball games live.  "I think the community looks forward to this event every year, and it's a real treat to keep doing this event on WEBO."

 "Donations made to Kiwanis Radio Day this year will include some radio commercials for sponsors as a thank you for participating," Peter Windover, Radio Day Chairman stated.  This fund raiser is the Kiwanis Club's single largest annual fund raising event for the Owego Kiwanis Club.  The Radigan Broadcasting Group donates airtime to the Kiwanis Club for this event every year.

 Contributions raised during Kiwanis Radio Day have sponsored the following community programs: A New Hope Center, Camp Ahwaga, El Rancho De Paz, Owego Police Delinquency Prevention Program, Owego Free Academy Key Club, Owego Free Academy Booster Club, Owego Little League & Teener League, Tioga County Boys & Girls Club, Ti-Ahwaga Players Theater, Toys for Tots, and Waterman Conservation Center.
