HERSHEY, Pa. — The People’s Pay 4 Play on WQXA-FM 105.7 The X on Nov. 5 and 6 raised a record-breaking $210,052 for Children’s Miracle Network at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. The total reflects a 39 percent increase over last year and brings the event’s nine-year fundraising tally to more than $1 million. Jen Shade, Nipsey and Earl David Reed from The People’s Morning Show hosted the event. Listeners made donations in exchange for song requests.

This year, the hosts set out on a “Quest for a $1 million” in total fundraising and were thrilled to reach their goal. Children’s Miracle Network would like to thank WQXA-FM, their listeners, local businesses, event sponsors, volunteers and patients and their families for their outstanding support. The proceeds will support equipment, programs and research at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. View a recap video here.
