WBEN (WBEN-AM) and 107.7 The Wolf (WLKK-FM), Audacy stations in Buffalo, raised $132,000 during the 22nd Annual SPCA Serving Erie County Radiothon presented by Trocaire College. Proceeds from the radiothon help the SPCA provide vital care, including food, shelter, and medical attention to pets and wildlife. 

“This annual event really brings the community together and the amount raised is a testament to the generosity of our listeners,” said Tim Wenger, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Buffalo. “We love supporting SPCA’s mission and giving second chances to pets and animals in Buffalo.”

The radiothon took place on December 11. Throughout the day, WBEN hosts Susan Rose, Joe Beamer, Tom Bauerle and The Wolf host Liz Mantel featured interviews and stories showcasing the impact of the SPCA Serving Erie County in the Buffalo community. Listeners were also invited to adopt a new pet with half-off adoption fees for animals six months and older. 

“The radiothon gives us a chance to share with our community the miracles that are happening here daily, possible only because of their donations,” said Gina Lattuca, Chief Communications Officer, SPCA. “Thanks to our donors and our Angels for the Animals, SPCA is able to give thousands of animals a second chance at a life filled with love, reach children with our important messages of compassion for all living things, make every animal cruelty investigation possible, make every lifesaving surgery possible and change the lives of so many people when they bring a new pet into their home.”

The SPCA Serving Erie County’s mission is to create a more humane community through education, rescuing, protecting and enhancing the lives of animals, and nurturing the bond between animals and people.
