Madison Achieves Historic Goal of 52-Hour Marathon
RADIO ONLINE | Friday, February 27, 2015 |
SiriusXM's Joe Madison achieved the historic goal of a 52-hour marathon broadcast he had set his sights on. During the broadcast, he raised more than $150,000 for the construction of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, the final museum planned to be built on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
Airing as part of Black History Month, the broadcast -- currently under review as a new world record by the Guinness World Record Organization -- began on Wednesday, February 25 at 6am ET and continued, un-interrupted, until Friday, February 27 at 10am ET.
"I am exhausted but, when you do something for the right reasons and have the support of others, you really can do anything," said Madison. "I hope our SiriusXM broadcast helps cast a spotlight on the need to raise funds for the much needed Smithsonian's National Museum of American History and Culture."
