iHeartMedia/Philadelphia Holds Annual 'Bid For Breast Cancer' Fundraiser

Items up for bid can be found at POWER99.COM, Q102.COM, RADIO1045.COM, WDASFM.COM and REAL1061PHILLY.COM. There you can also place bids on items such as a signed guitar from GREEN DAY, a Coach bag signed by SELENA GOMEZ and boxing gloves signed by FLOYD MAYWEATHER and CONOR MCGREGOR. iHEARTMEDIA/PHILADELPHIA’s on-air personalities will encourage listeners to support AACR and place bids during the fundraiser.

“Again this year, we have pulled together all the resources of our six stations to collect one-of-a-kind autographed items to benefit a cause that affects many women in our community,” iHEARTMEDIA/PHILADELPHIA VP/Programming BRIAN CHECK said. “AACR is known for bringing together the greatest minds in cancer research, and helping patients worldwide as well as right here in the PHILADELPHIA area.”

“In 2017, more than 300,000 women will hear the words, ‘you have breast cancer,’” AACR Foundation Exec. Dir. MITCH STOLLER said. “The AACR’s mission is to prevent and cure all cancers, including breast cancer which is the second most common cause of cancer-related death among women in the U.S. We are grateful to iHEARTMEDIA/PHILADELPHIA and the community for their support in this BID FOR BREAST CANCER. Proceeds will enable the AACR to fund groundbreaking cancer research that will lead to more cancer discoveries, saving more lives.”

In 2016, iHEARTMEDIA/PHILADELPHIA raised over $15,000 during BID FOR BREAST CANCER to benefit AACR.
