WZPL's Request-A-Thon

Cumulus Media's WZPL in Indianapolis, the Smiley Morning Show and The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana kicks off its 27th annual Make-A-Wish Request-A-Thon, a 36-hour live broadcast benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Listeners can call to donate to help make a local child's wish come true, and then request whatever song they like, regardless of genre.

Listeners will hear everything from Sir Mix A Lot's "Baby Got Back" to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" to college fight songs to Taylor Swift, and everything in between. The Smiley Morning Show including Dave Smiley, Nikki, Producer Will, and Toni will be on-air live for the entire 36 hours, fueled by caffeine and a desire to help as many Hoosier kids as possible.

In 2022, a record-setting $1.07 million was raised and 107 wishes were granted to area children with critical illnesses, bringing the cumulative total raised by the Make-A-Wish Request-A-Thon over the past 27 years to more than $11 million.
