Rock station Z93 (WKQZ-FM) and Z93 Program Director Matt Bingham have raised $127,950 in community donations for the American Cancer Society as part of the organization’s annual Men Wear Pink fundraising campaign. All funds raised benefit the American Cancer Society in Mid-Michigan and the fight against breast cancer. Z93 and Bingham have participated in Men Wear Pink for the last eight years, raising a total of more than $200,000, which helps provide lodging and rides to treatment for patients, patient education, and breakthrough research that is vital and necessary in the fight against breast cancer.
The success of this year’s Z93 campaign was amplified by a donation of over $111,000 from Z93 partners, the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and the Saganing Eagles Landing Casino and Hotel. The generous donation put Men Wear Pink ambassador Bingham and Z93 among the Top 5 fundraisers in the nation. Money was raised through various partnership activations, including the sale of annual Boobs Rock t-shirts, sponsored by Nice & Naughty, and ticket kiosk donations, courtesy of the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and the Saganing Eagles Landing Casino and Hotel, among many others.

Welling continued: “I want to extend a very special thank you to the entire team at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel for their unexpected and generous donation. Their guests and team members have made a profound impact, not only on this year's Men Wear Pink campaign, but also on the lives of those facing breast cancer, their caregivers, and the researchers working toward a cure. What amazing partners and friends of the community.”
Matt Bingham, Z93 Program Director, co-host of Z93’s The Morning After with Matt and Adam, and Men Wear Pink ambassador, commented: “To say that I'm overwhelmed by the support of our local business partners and our listeners, 'The People of The Morning After,' would be an understatement. We asked for their help in reaching our Men Wear Pink fundraising goal and they did that and so much more… to the tune of over $127,000 raised! Having met so many breast cancer survivors throughout my time working with the American Cancer Society through Men Wear Pink and Making Strides, I know what kind of difference these donations can make. I am so proud of this fundraising accomplishment and I'm already looking forward to Men Wear Pink 2027!”
Brooklyn Kennings, Senior Manager, Market Events, American Cancer Society, remarked: "This year's Men Wear Pink campaign has truly been one for the books. While it's easy to celebrate the energy and excitement of the past few days, I am most proud of the dedication our ambassadors have shown throughout the year.”
Kennings added: “The American Cancer Society's mission is simple: to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Planning and executing a campaign of this magnitude takes extraordinary people. Matt and his supporters at Z93 have brought the same passion and commitment since day one. He is an inspiring leader and a powerful advocate for the mission of the American Cancer Society. Each one of this year's Men Wear Pink ambassadors, like Matt, embodied our mission wholeheartedly, and we are incredibly grateful for their unwavering support.”
