It’s a WBHM BOGO!
BUY ONE, GIVE ONE!
Local nonprofits need our help. COVID-19 has been especially disruptive to charities and nonprofit organizations in the heart of Alabama that depend on donations to provide critical services to our community.
You can demonstrate your community support by partnering with WBHM to support local nonprofits.
1. Choose a nonprofit organization as the recipient of your act of kindness.
2. Invest $1,500, $1,000, or $500 to secure on-air announcements on WBHM at a discounted rate.
3. Give all or half of the announcements to your chosen nonprofit.
The announcements will air Monday-Sunday between the hours or 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. over two weeks. On your behalf, your account executive will contact your chosen nonprofit to share your generosity, craft messaging that includes your name or your company’s name as the funder, and confirm broadcast dates. We’ll even provide you an audio file so that you can hear your message and share it.
