Friends of PACC and iHeartMedia partnering on a Radiothon to save animals

The event will take place September 20 across four iHeartMedia Tucson stations

Pima County, AZ, June 17, 2024 – The Friends of Pima Animal Care Center and iHeartMedia Tucson are partnering to save animal lives across Pima County with the first-ever Friends of PACC Radiothon on Friday, September 20, 2024. The purpose of the radiothon is to raise awareness and funds to enhance animal lifesaving at Pima Animal Care Center and across the Pima County community.

The event will run from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. across iHeartRadio stations 92.9 The Bull, 93.7 KRQ, Hot 98.3 and MEGA 97.1, as well as their digital stations and the iHeartRadio app, iHeartMedia’s free all-in-one digital music, podcasting and live streaming radio service.

“We are grateful to iHeartMedia Tucson for making animal lifesaving a priority,” said Friends of PACC Executive Director Torre Chisholm, “September 20 is a chance to give voice to our companion animals, who can’t speak for themselves, but enhance our lives and our community in so many ways.”

"iHeartMedia Tucson is honored to partner with an organization as remarkable as PACC,” said Steve Earnhart, Southwest Area President for iHeartMedia. “Their impact on animals and families in Tucson is generational, and something our community simply can’t do without.”

Over the course of the day, the radiothon will celebrate animals and share stories about programs which bolster adoptions and keep pets out of the shelter and at home with their families. Listeners will also have the opportunity to support animal lifesaving programs and win great prizes. Stay tuned to Friends of PACC and iHeartMedia social media for exciting details as the event draws closer. 

According to Chisholm, “When iHeartMedia Tucson, Friends of PACC, and our community come together – animals win!”
