PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Philadelphia Eagles and SportsRadio 94WIP have announced that the annual Eagles Radiothon will hit airwaves starting at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3 and will close on Wednesday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. Through this two-day auction, fans will be able to bid on unique sports and entertainment prizes involving their favorite Eagles players and SportsRadio 94WIP radio personalities. All proceeds will benefit Eagles Youth Partnership and its various programs that serve over 50,000 children in our community every year.
"The Eagles Radiothon is one of our most anticipated events of the year," said Eagles Youth Partnership Executive Director, Sarah Martinez-Helfman. "This is a special fundraiser because so many win. Bidders win experiences of a lifetime with their favorite Eagles players and WIP personalities. Listeners get great radio over those two days. And kids who are struggling against the odds get eyeglasses, books and playgrounds from the money we raise. I want to thank SportsRadio 94WIP for so generously hosting the Eagles Radiothon over the years. We thank them, our fans and the entire Philadelphia community for the support."
