HERSHEY, Pa. — Nipsey, Jen Shade and Vince of the People’s Morning Show on WQXA-FM 105.7 THE X will host the 19th annual People’s "Pay 4 Play" beginning Thursday, Nov. 20, at 6 a.m. through Friday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. to benefit Children’s Miracle Network at Golisano Children’s Hospital at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

Listeners can visit CMNHershey.org/p4p25 to make a donation and request a song to be played on air. The further the song request is from the station’s active rock format, the higher the required donation — making for plenty of surprises and laughs throughout the 28-hour broadcast.

Over the past 18 years, Pay 4 Play has raised more than $3.8 million to support lifesaving equipment, family-centered programs and innovative pediatric research.

Throughout the event, the People’s Morning Show DJs will share inspiring stories and interview patients, families, community fundraisers and care providers — highlighting how donor support through Pay 4 Play directly impacts the lives of sick and injured children across the region.

Sponsors of the event include Highmark; Woodstream; MITER Foundation; Torchbearer Sauces; Shollenberger, Januzzi, & Wolfe LLP; TE Connectivity; Schaedler Yesco; Window Nation; PSECU; McClure Company; Members 1st Federal Credit Union; Ira G. Steffy & Son Inc.; Universal Media; Lamar; and United Concordia Dental. Learn more at www.cmnhershey.org.
