Audacy has raised over $92,000 in support of veterans in partnership with the Travis Manion Foundation during the sixth annual "Talk Radio 1210 WPHT Travis Manion Foundation Radiothon." Travis Manion Foundation is a national veteran service organization which unites communities to strengthen America's national character by empowering veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop and lead future generations.

"Our WPHT listeners are extremely passionate and generous and it's so gratifying when our friends, neighbors and advertisers rally together for a great cause," said Audacy Philadelphia Senior VP and Market Manager David Yadgaroff. "Our Philadelphia brands are long supporters of Travis Manion Foundation and the great work they do for veterans and families of the fallen in our local community and we're pleased to team up with them once again to support their mission."

The radiothon was broadcast live from Audacy corporate headquarters in Philadelphia on March 24. The event was hosted by station talent, including Rich Zeoli, Nick Kayal, Dom Giordano, Dawn Stensland and special guest Ryan Manion, Gold Star Sister and president of the Travis Manion Foundation, along with the team at the organization.

Travis Manion Foundation provides best-in-class personal development and training opportunities to veterans and families of the fallen, empowering them to go out and lead their communities and serve with one another. For more information, visit travismanion.org.
