Forest City Owls, WGWG Team Up with the Salvation Army

Last Modified: 05/21/2012

Recently, the Forest City Owls Baseball Club teamed up with 88.3 WGWG, the broadcast service of Gardner-Webb, to sponsor a canned food drive to benefit the Salvation Army Food Pantry. The Owls traded discounted tickets for canned foods and non-perishable food items, and several cases of canned goods were donated to meet local needs in the Forest City community.

A broadcast service of Gardner-Webb University since 1974, 88.3 WGWG, “The Range,” is a 50,000-watt non-profit/non-commercial station that reaches listeners across 16 counties in both Carolinas. “The Range” features a deep and diverse blend of sounds and artists, mixing chart-topping hits across the decades with deep album cuts never released as singles. WGWG also offers nationally syndicated programs, local news and events, coverage of Gardner-Webb athletics and high school football, on-air giveaways and more. For more information, or to listen live, visit wgwg.org.
