Philladelphia's WUSL (Power 99) and WDAS Team With Wells Fargo For 'Teach And Reach'

Honoring Teachers

iHEARTMEDIA Urban WUSL (POWER 99)/PHILADELPHIA and sister station Urban AC WDAS have teamed with WELLS FARGO to launch TEACH AND REACH, a year-long campaign to honor and recognize outstanding educators in the community.

WUSL and WDAS personalities are encouraging listeners to nominate teachers and each month the stations will choose a teacher to receive a $1000 reward to spend as they choose and an additional $1000 to spend on classroom needs.

iHEARTMEDIA/PHILADELPHIA Dir./Urban Programming DERRICK "DC" CORBETT commented, "We know how important teachers are to the future of our youth and how many sacrifices they make every day for their students. This is our way of letting them know how much they matter."

WELLS FARGO's PHILADELPHIA Region Pres. JOE KIRK added, "Being a teacher is one of the most rewarding and challenging careers anyone can choose, and we’re proud to partner with POWER 99 and 105.3 WDAS FM to recognize the contributions these leaders have made to our community. This award is part of our commitment to supporting classrooms across the region and making sure that teachers and students have the tools they need to have a productive learning experience." 

The TEACH AND REACH prize money was raised by iHEARTMEDIA/PHILADELPHIA through an additional $1.00 added to the price of a ticket to the annual POWER 99 POWERHOUSE concert with additional funds contributed by WELLS FARGO, PHILADELPHIA.
