Cumulus Media has announced that The People’s Morning Show with Nipsey, Jen and Earl on WQXA 105.7 FM The X in York-Harrisburg, PA, was honored by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® with the English Radio Personality of the Year Excellence Award.

WQXA-FM on-air personalities, Nipsey, Jen Shade and Earl David Read were recognized by CMNH for their show’s annual “Pay 4 Play” fundraising efforts, benefiting Penn State Children’s Hospital in Hershey, PA. The award was presented in late March at the CMNH Annual Convention in Orlando, FL.

Danielle Sunday, Director of Children’s Miracle Network at Penn State Children’s Hospital, said: “We are thrilled The People’s Morning Show on 105.7 THE X has been named the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® Personality of the Year. Jen, Nipsey and Earl continuously inspire their listeners to share their passion for helping sick and injured children in our community. Thanks to Pay 4 Play’s incredible contribution of $1.2 million over the last ten years, we are able to continue our mission to save kids’ lives by funding cutting edge equipment, family-centered programs and transformative research. We couldn’t be more proud of this dynamic trio, and we congratulate them and their listeners on this national recognition.”

WQXA-FM Morning Co-Host Jen Shade said: “Our relationship with our listeners is what makes the annual Pay 4 Play event a success. Because of them, our team has been able to take this opportunity to a level never dreamed possible, raising over $1.2 million dollars over the past 10 years. That money stays right here in our community to help our children. It is a great feeling that we are elated to share!”

Ron Giovanniello, Regional Vice President, Cumulus Media added: “We are so very proud of the effort and results our team achieves with ‘Pay 4 Play’ on 105.7 THE X WQXA-FM. Thanks to their dedication and commitment, along with the support of our tremendous listeners and sponsors, we are able to help hundreds of children and their families in Pennsylvania.”
