Cumulus-owned WGRF-FM Buffalo, NY., set a new donation record for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western New York. The station raised more than $300,000 during the 25th annual Make-A-Wish Radiothon. The 28-hour program was broadcast on location from the Eastern Hills Mall in Williamsville, NY.

“It’s a real honor to work with all the people who came together for 2019 Make-A-Wish Radiothon,” said Vice President and Market Manager Jim Riley. “Because Western New Yorkers responded so generously, Make-A-Wish will be putting smiles on faces and changing a lot of lives over the next year.”
