HERSHEY, Pa. — Nipsey, Earl David Reed and Jen Shade of The People’s Morning Show on WQXA-FM 105.7 The X will host the 13th annual People’s Pay 4 Play (#Pay4PlayXIII) from 5 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, through 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 8. 

During the 28-hour marathon broadcast from the WQXA studio (2300 Vartan Way, Harrisburg), listeners can call 1-800-332-1057 to make a donation and request a song to be played. The further the request is from the station’s rock-and-roll format, the higher the required donation. Listeners can also donate at CMNHershey.org.

The event has raised $1,720,893 in the past 12 years for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN). This year, the team hopes to surpass $2 million in total fundraising. Funds will be used to purchase lifesaving equipment and support vital programs and research at Penn State Children’s Hospital.
