WCBS 101.1 FM (WCBS-FM), an Audacy station in New York, recently raised $25,000 for the American Cancer Society. The successful fundraising initiative was spearheaded by Race Taylor, host of “Race Taylor In The Morning.” His group, Team Taylor, was one of the top fundraising teams at the Making Strides Walk at Jones Beach on Long Island. Proceeds from the walk fund the American Cancer Society’s programs and services, which support breast cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.

“We’re truly overwhelmed and deeply moved by the incredible generosity of our listeners and staff who supported Team Taylor in this year’s Making Strides Walk at Jones Beach, Long Island,” said Taylor. “Every dollar represents hope, strength and progress in the fight against breast cancer and we couldn’t have done it without the love, help and compassion of our beautiful audience. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.” 

The push for early cancer detection and proactive health at WCBS 101.1 FM is personally driven by host Taylor. His wife, Patty, a traffic reporter for sister station 1010 WINS (WINS-AM/92.3 FM), is considered high-risk because her mother, who is a 40-year breast cancer survivor, had received an early diagnosis. Taylor, along with Jesse Addy, John Foxx and Broadway Bill Lee, championed this message of survivorship. Listeners can tune in to Race Taylor weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ET.

WCBS 101.1 FM’s participation in the Making Strides walk is a part of Audacy’s commitment to making a meaningful difference at scale. Audacy uses its reach and personal connection with listeners to advance causes that promote strong mental health and build sound communities.
