The Big Idea

In honor of Veterans Day, listeners are invited to nominate a local veteran who has made a difference in their community or served with distinction. Participants share the veteran’s story and a photo via the station’s website or app. Selected veterans are featured in a community gallery and on-air, with a grand prize “Hero’s Package” awarded to a deserving service member.

The Elevator Pitch

"Veterans Day is a time for the community to come together in gratitude. Our 'Hometown Heroes' program allows your business to lead that conversation. By sponsoring this nomination gallery, you aren't just buying ads; you are aligning your brand with the values of service, sacrifice, and local pride; creating a deep emotional connection with our audience."
