CUMULUS Classic Hits WGRR/CINCINNATI morning co-host CHRIS O’BRIEN was named the 2019 LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY’s Man of the Year for the Tri-State Southern Chapter. O’BRIEN captured the title after his team, “No Bad Days,” raised $82,694 during a 10-week campaign that kicked off in FEBRUARY. 

“All of us at WGRR and the entire CUMULUS/CINCINNATI operation congratulate CHRIS O’BRIEN on his recognition as 2019 LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY Man of the Year for the Tri-State Southern Chapter," CUMULUS/CINCINNATI VP/Market Manager DAVE CROWL said. "The award was earned with a great deal of effort from CHRIS, his wife and on-air partner JANEEN COYLE, as well as other members of the No Bad Days team. Their contributions led to a first-time ever total of $1,000,000+ raised to help this important cause.”

“Not only are CHRIS and JANEEN the longest running morning show in CINCINNATI, but they are continually giving back to the community in many ways and this honor for CHRIS was hard earned and well deserved,” CUMULUS/CINCINNATI OM and WGRR PD KEITH MITCHELL said.

“This was a challenging, fun and inspiring 10-week campaign," CHRIS O’BRIEN said. "I was surrounded by a great team of friends, family (including my wife and morning co-host JANEEN COYLE) and co-workers. Fundraisers around CINCINNATI and donations from all over, including listeners and even well known industry folks, made it a success for our team and LLS.”

'I am so proud of my husband!" WGRR's JANEEN COYLE said. "It was such an humbling honor to raise $82,694 for the LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY’s Tri-State Southern Chapter and honor the life of 26-year-old BRAD HAWLEY. Team #NoBadDays is eternally grateful to our Market Manager DAVE CROWL and our entire CUMULUS/CINCINNATI family for their endless support and time."
