QUINCY — WGCA The Mix has announced that longtime supporters and listeners Pat and Connie Benson will serve as the first ever co-chairs for the station’s 38th annual Sharathon, taking place October 22-24.
Sharathon is a two-and-a-half-day on-air broadcasting event where The Mix rallies its audience to partner in their mission to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ. This year, the Bensons will join The Mix, sharing their story, encouraging listeners and helping raise the vital support needed to keep positive hits on the air.
“We wanted to find someone local to join our efforts to fund the upcoming year, and to share why our mission is so important,” said Sierra Alfred, donor relations director and on-air host at The Mix, in a press release. “After the support and friendship, they’ve offered our station over the years, choosing Pat and Connie as co-chairs was a no-brainer.”
Fully funded by listeners, The Mix relies on Sharathon as its largest annual fundraiser, while also inviting listeners to join them in uplifting and encouraging the Tri-States through financial support.
The Bensons note how powerful music is, stating how it is one of the greatest ways to connect with God: “What we take in is so important because we are commanded to think on what is pure and holy,” says Connie. “The music on 88.5 feeds your soul while you’re driving or working- or just anywhere throughout the day.”
