WYNA/WGTN & WEZV/WYEZ

Organizing a Total Media campaign to raise funds for the Red Cross is not an easy job but WYNA/WGTN 104.9/100.7 Bob FM and WEZV/WYEZ-FM 105.9/94.5 EASY radio general managers Will Isaacs (left) and Matt Sedota (right) have done it twice.

First the radio gurus helped coordinate an event that raised more than $250,000 for National Red Cross to help Hurricane Katrina victims, then in 2006 they turned their focus to the local Red Cross chapter and its assistance of fire families by coordinating Total Media Two. During this event more than $20,000 was raised for the United Way Fire Victim’s fund, administered by the local Red Cross. Making the presentation to Isaacs, Sedota and Craig Russ is John Trudeau, chapter board chair.
