WAAF Air Personality’s Foundation Helps Others

Greg Hill

The effort to assist a Massachusetts family of six displaced after a fire ghot a boost from the WAAF Hill-Man Morning Show radio program on station 97.7/107.3 FM.

According to Katrina Powell at wickedlocal.com, the show hosted an on-air fundraising effort, raising nearly $9,000 for the family.

Greg Hill, 46, host of the Hill-Man Morning show, explained that the Greg Hill Foundation donated $5,000 to the cause, and asked listeners to pitch in as well.

The foundation was formed nearly three years ago, Hill explained, in order to celebrate having been on the air for 20 years with WAAF. He wanted to find a way to give back to people, and respond to the immediate needs of families that have been touched by tragedy.

Over the years, the foundation has given thousands of dollars to many families, each with a different story.

Hill explained that everyone at the radio station and the Greg Hill Foundation was inspired to get involved after hearing about the fire from one of his co-hosts, Swampscott native Danielle Murr.

“Danielle has friends who are close friends with the family and she actually ended up being [at the scene of the fire],” Hill said. “She told us what happened and right away, we knew this was right in line with the foundation’s mission, so we’re going to do whatever we can to help these people.”
