MIDDLETOWN, PA (November 19, 2014) -- How much is your favorite song worth? $50, $100, $500? It might be worth more than you think. In fact, it might be invaluable for the children whose lives depend on donations to Children’ Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals. That’s why Mid-Atlantic Corporate’s family of companies and credit unions from the central Pennsylvania area offered their support for the 2014 Pay 4 Play, an annual fundraising event to benefit the Corporate’s local CMN Hospital, Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.
Pay 4 Play, which was held on Nov. 6-7, 2014, is a radio-thon that raises money for life-saving equipment, advanced research opportunities and innovative treatment programs for CMN Hospitals. The event runs for 28 hours straight and allows listeners the opportunity to request a song of their choice in exchange for a donation to CMN Hospitals. Some songs require higher donations, depending on how far the song deviates from the host station’s alternative rock genre.
Like last year, 105.7 The X Rocks’ People’s Morning Show with Nipsey, Earl and Jen Shade, hosted the Pay 4 Play event. From 5 a.m. on Nov. 6 to 9 a.m. on Nov. 7, the morning show personalities and volunteers from 12 central Pennsylvania credit unions, including Mid-Atlantic Corporate and its family of companies, took requests and donations from callers.
By the end of the 28 hours, the 2014 Pay 4 Play had raised over $150,000. In total, the Pay 4 Play fundraiser has brought in $794,148 for Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital within the last eight years.
“Every year, we look forward to participating in the Pay 4 Play fundraiser,” said Erin Doan, administration and community relations director for Mid-Atlantic Corporate. “It’s an amazing experience to see credit unions and the community come together to raise money for kids in need.”
Mid-Atlantic Corporate thanks the following central Pennsylvania credit unions, which contributed a $250 sponsorship for this year’s Pay 4 Play: Belco Community CU, First Capital FCU, Glatco CU, Heritage Valley FCU, Hershey FCU, Lancaster Red Rose CU, LANCO FCU, Lebanon FCU, Patriot FCU, PSECU and Wheatland FCU.
In addition, the Corporate thanks everyone who donated and 105.7 The X, Nipsey, Earl David Reed and Jen Shade for hosting the Pay 4 Play event.
