THE CHARLESTON RADIO GROUP HONORED FOR GIVING

Mount Pleasant, SC (November 15, 2024) – The Charleston Radio Group has been presented as the winner of the 2024 “Giving Award” by the Charleston Chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA).

The Giving Award recognizes the work of any individual or company based in the tri-county area that has influenced a local nonprofit through its leadership and marketing service. The Charleston Radio Group earned the honor through the 2023 “Cares for Kids Radiothon,” which benefited the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital.

This two-day event takes place in the lobby of the Children’s Hospital, as WCKN, 92.5 Kickin’ Country, WMXZ, Mix 95.9 and WXST, Star 99.7 broadcast live for 26 hours, soliciting listener donations.  The 2023 Radiothon raised additional awareness of South Carolina’s top-ranked hospital and $170,901.23 – a 32% increase over the 2022 total.

In reacting to the award, Charleston Radio Group President Paul O’Malley commented “All of us at the Charleston Radio Group are honored and humbled to be a part of such a great effort that truly enhances the lives of these amazing kids. MUSC, our sponsors and our staff truly join forces for a higher cause and we look forward to 2025!”

The Association’s annual Spark Awards recognize the outstanding creative achievements of Charleston-area marketers.  Finalists are selected from each category and voted on by American Marketing Association Chapter Boards nationwide.
