"We look forward to being a "Secret Santa" to these families," said Beasley Media Group Vice President of Music & Entertainment and Charlotte Operations Manager, John Reynolds. "It's always important to use the influence of local radio to serve our neighbors and inform them of the resources and opportunities available to them."

Visit Myrtle Beach is title sponsor on the radio-thon this year and wants to help families touched by autism enjoy their travel experiences. "At Visit Myrtle Beach, we believe that The Beach is for everybody and are continuously striving to enhance our destination, making it welcoming and inclusive for people of all abilities," said Karen Riordan, President and CEO of Visit Myrtle Beach. "We recognize that families with children on the autism spectrum often feel vacations are challenging and want to change that."
