Mrs Screw since you are so good with your twitter outreach, you should send something out to @DylanDreyerNBC to start the campaign to get RU on a NYC 4 . http://marathon.rutgers.edu/I have donated to the Rutgers dance marathon & quinnipiac dance marathon. I will never ever EVER donate to thon. F the
Bingo. NBC NY sold them the time like it sells infomercials time.They probably paid for the spot. It’s common.
Yes, this was uncovered years ago. Maybe they changed things, but I doubt it.Oh good lord the "Thon - it's for the kids". I guess it's better than "we are raising money for the Hersey medical center to pay salaries, yada yada yada". I haven't looked in years, but if my memory is correct less than 10% goes to anything anyone would call "for the kids" a la the Ronald McDonald house and organizations like that, but boy they do a great job selling it as such.

I don't think Rutgers DM is as established as Thon is at this point, so a NY media buy would be tough. It does well and it's still growing, but not at that place yet. Now, maybe there is potential for a media partner to sponsor or get involved as a charitable or community outreach effort. That could work too.Maybe it’ll give the Rutgers DM people some good new ideas?

I think this covers it pretty well.
It's a smart move if you can swing it financially. There are probably a ton of PSU alums in the viewing area, who may not even remember that Thon was coming up. They will be like, "Oh yeah, forgot about that, let me click on the link and donate something." Makes it easy for people to stay involved and support the event even if it's from their couches.No issue with this. I’m in a position to know quite a bit about RUDM. Those kids work their butts off, but Covid has really changed the game the last two years causing overall funds raised to be significantly lower (at a time when the patients & families benefitting from the funds are arguably struggling more than ever). On a relative basis, it’s likely that PSU Thon has experienced the same, so if they want to use a new tactic to drive fundraising dollars, they won’t get an objection from me.

Rates are dirt cheap, and the station needs programming like this for FCC compliance. Ask nicely and they will let you have some timeYou’re probably right - Thon has a much larger operating budget.
Good question. Considering all donations are solely for patients at the Penn State Milton Hersey Medical Center.
