Audacy Milwaukee's Sports WSSP (105.7 The Fan & 1250 AM), along with sister CHR WXSS-FM (103.7 Kiss FM), has successfully raised $100,000 during its 18th annual Toy Drive. The funds will support the Robyn's Nest program at Children's Wisconsin, which aids children in foster care and their caregivers by providing essential items such as clothing and hygiene products.

The event, held from December 2-6, allowed listeners to donate either online or in person at the local Blain's Farm & Fleet store. The donation drive was a part of the daily broadcast of "Wisconsin Sports Daily" with Steve "Sparky" Fifer, which airs from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. CT on The Fan.

Children's Wisconsin Foundation Vice President of Engagement and Stewardship Christine Baranoucky expressed gratitude for the local community's support. "The generosity of our community partners like 105.7 The Fan and 103.7 KISS FM enables us to bring joy to the children and families we serve, particularly during the holiday season," she stated.

Audacy/Madison and Milwaukee Senior Vice President and Market Manager Jason Bjorson also acknowledged the community's role in the drive's success. "I am deeply thankful for the Milwaukee community's dedication to spreading holiday cheer to children facing hardships," Bjorson remarked. He extended thanks to the teams and volunteers from both stations for their efforts in making the event impactful.
