WPHT, Philadelphia raised over $45,000 for the Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation during the 39th annual “Ben to the Shore Bike Tour” (7/29). All proceeds go towards supporting families of fallen or critically injured first responders by providing financial assistance and offering programs that strengthen relationships between first responders and the communities they serve. The annual 65-mile cycling event began in Philadelphia and concluded in Atlantic City, NJ. This year’s “Team Kayal and Company” featured on-air personalities Nick Kayal and Dawn Stensland along with station brand manager Greg Stocker who rode alongside dozens of teammates and supporters in a shared commitment to honoring first responders and the families they protect. “The Ben to Shore ride is one of the most inspiring events our station participates in each year,” said Stocker. “Families Behind the Badge has a deeply meaningful effect on our community, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to support them with the help of our listeners, sponsors and teammates.
