"We get to see first-hand the impact our radio stations have on the community," CBS RADIO/PHILADELPHIA SVP/Market Manager MARC RAYFIELD said. "We are local business operators who feel it's our duty to support fine organizations like CHOP, EAGLES YOUTH PARTNERSHIP and the TRAVIS MANION FOUNDATION. Like many, our families have been the beneficiaries of the services they provide, and we are very fortunate to have them in our backyard."
