Panama City, FL, Supports 'Strong Love For Louisiana'

IHEARTMEDIA/PANAMA CITY, including Country WPAP, Rock WDIZ (96 ROCK), AC WFSY (SUNNY 98.5) and Urban AC WEBZ (99.3 THE BEAT), all participated in “850 Strong Love For LOUISIANA,” a supply drive to benefit victims of HURRICANE LAURA, collecting enough items to fill two semi-truck trailers that were donated by TARPON DOCK SEAFOOD owner GREG ABRAMS.

“850 Strong Love for LOUISIANA” was promoted on all IHEARTMEDIA/PANAMA CITY stations, and included on-location broadcasts from WPAP’s DR. SHANE & TESS, WDIZ’s PACO, WFSY’s JOHN LUND and WEBZ’s DJ BIG BOI. The on-air personalities encouraged the community to stop by and donate much-needed supplies including power generators, cleaning supplies, diapers and baby food, outdoor equipment, bottled water, non-perishable food items and clothing, as well as coloring books and crayons for the young victims of HURRICANE LAURA.

Commented GM DARRELL JOHNSON, “Having been through a category 5 hurricane ourselves less than two years ago, we knew what the folks of SOUTH LOUISIANA and SOUTH TEXAS needed. Even as our community is still recovering from that natural disaster while also dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, we knew it was important for our community to step up and help our GULF COAST neighbors.”

In addition to the supplies, the drive also raised nearly $10,000 in monetary donations. In addition to purchasing additional critically-needed items for HURRICANE LAURA victims, part of the funds were donated to the UNITED CAJUN NAVY, a nonprofit organization that assembles search and rescue teams during natural disasters.
