• iHeartMedia’s syndicated The Breakfast Club announced #Change4Change, an all-day Radiothon to benefit The Gathering for Justice, an organization whose mission is to eliminate racial inequalities, social injustice and child incarceration. The #Change4Change Radiothon will happen next Thursday, November 16 from 6-10am local time across over 75 syndicated markets, and will continue from 10am-midnight on the show’s flagship, WWPR (Power 105.1)/New York, with other participating markets TBA.
Breakfast Club personalities DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God will host the #Change4Change Radiothon and encourage listeners to donate in support of The Gathering for Justice, a charity that sponsors movements such as The Women’s March, Justice League NYC and Colin Kaepernick‘s Know Your Rights Camp. The fundraiser will also feature interviews with celebrities and representatives from charities fighting for equality and social justice, as well as inform listeners how to get involved in their local community’s efforts to help promote equality and unity for all. The three co-hosts encourage everyone to give what they can. All it takes is a little #Change4Change. Listeners can donate by texting “change” to 52182 or visit BCchange4change.com.
