Markathon

Day two of the Freinds and Family Edition of Markathon is in the books and it was a doozy.

This year is a bit different with our Markathon hero Mark Curdo out of action for health reasons. So we are relying on our Friends and Family to help us through. At CYY, our "family" includes fabulous DJ's from our sister stations who are taking a shift and helping out.

It was a strong first day for our 2017 Friends and Family Edition of Markathon. Thanks to our CYY Friends who came in to donate to the Center for Grieving Children.

Day One of the Friends and Family Edition of Markathon and we are off and running. We will play ANYTHING for a donation to the Center for Grieving Children. Over the years we've raised over $250,000 for this amazing place.

You won't miss out on Markathon Friends and Family Edition when you download the WCYY app to listen live.

The Markathon Friends & Family Edition went with a festive tune for its first song. Watch the reveal and the big radio event kick off.

It's ON! The 2017 Friends and Family Edition of Markathon. It's the greatest week of radio in Portland every year thanks to YOUR requests. And for your donation to the Center for Grieving Children, we will play ANYTHING (within  FCC guidelines of course)...

In celebration of another season of Markathon, here are the 5 strangest song suggestions we've gotten over the last 10 years.

There have been lots of questions and hopefully we have all your answers right here.

Here's a list of every song that made it on CYY for Markathon on day 3!

You guys are weird and we love you for it. Bizarre is an adjective that comes to mind as we peruse this documented list of what's gone down so far on Markathon this year. There are also some great songs that have been played. Bottom line, we don't care what it is as long as you dig deep into the crevasses of your wallet and toss some money to the Center for Grieving Children!

The Markathon Online Auction is open! You can bid on these awesome items until this Friday December 11 at 12 p.m. As per ususal, all the proceeds will go to The Center for Grieving Children in order to support grieving children and families.
