You could be the DJ for a day on Paulding County’s own MY102.7 if you have the highest bid. The station is hosting an online auction for the opportunity, with all proceeds benefiting Team Terel, a cause supporting a local family in need.
Terel Arnett-Dias has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. The mother and wife is also pregnant with her second daughter, making treatment extra difficult. Friends and family started Team Terel to help raise funds for the Arnett-Dias family and garner words of support and encouragement. After learning about the family’s situation, the team at WMYW devised a way to help.
The station will accept bids for the DJ for a day auction Friday, September 20 at 6 a.m. through Friday, September 27 at noon. To bid, visit Facebook.com/my1027paulding during the auction, look for the “DJ for a day” graphic and place a bid in the comments. The person with the highest bid at noon on September 20 will win the prize.
The winning bidder can select five songs and share a special message with listeners. The DJ for a day program will air on Saturday, October 5.
“Being a part of Paulding County means being here for each other. With radio, we have a platform to tell the community’s stories and help where we can. We’re looking forward to not only raising money for this beautiful family, but also letting our listeners know how they can get involved,” said Joe Barker, WMYW station manager.
Team Terel is hosting a fundraising event on Saturday, September 28 at the American Legion in Payne. The event includes a poker run, silent auction, raffle, and more.
