Community Involvement
WZON actively participates in the Jimmy Fund radio telethon and auction each summer. The station gathers local and national sports memorabilia and auctions it off to the highest bidder. Listeners have contributed thousands of dollars to the Jimmy Fund through this fund-raising mechanism over the years.
The station also brought Red Sox broadcasters and ESPN personalities to Bangor for special forums.
