Bring on the caffeine and turn up the volume: Rock Around the Clock will return for 2019.
On November 28-29, a group of Broadcasting – Radio, Television and Film students at College radio station CRNC The Heat will continue the tradition of hosting Rock Around the Clock: an annual 24-hour radiothon to raise funds for a worthy cause.
This year’s Rock Around the Clock will raise funds for NCSAC’s Nourishing Minds program, which provides grocery gift cards to NC students who need them.
The initiative will provide participating students with a valuable opportunity to manage and participate in a typical radio fundraising event, noted Broadcasting professor Bruce Gilbert.
“Radiothons are truly experiential learning,” said Gilbert. “More importantly though, it’s a chance for BRTF students to give back a little to the College community by raising money for the Nourishing Minds program.”
The event also marks a ‘changing of the guards’ at CRNC. It is staffed by the current department heads at the College radio station, with support from the incoming group who will officially take over in the new year. On-air duties will be covered by students who host weekend specialty shows.
Rock Around the Clock will kick off at noon on November 28 and will run until noon on November 29.
