Shine 104.9 (KEEH) raised $258,752 at their annual Fall Sharathon event in October 2021. This is an all-time high for the station, surpassing the previous year’s record of $251,000. The funding will assist with tower rent, staff paychecks, advertising, electricity and outreach events.
“I can remember my first Sharathon here at KEEH more than 20 years ago,” shared Darin Patzer, general manager for Shine 104.9. “By the end, we had raised $77,000. It seems like a lot of money, but when that’s your donation budget for the entire year, well, it made things pretty tight.”
