Media Well-Represented at This Year's "Go for the Green"

With great sponsors on board for this year’s “Go for the Green” Daytona 500 party at Changing Times Pub and Changing Times Ale House, the media wasn’t going to be too far behind. This year’s party will feature representatives from WBAB 102.3, Long Island Press, News 12, and Full Throttle Hot Rod Magazine. This year’s party is turning out to be our biggest yet.

WBAB’s Director of Marketing & Promotions, Jason Steinberg, got on board on day one. Jason, along with Promotions Manager, Scott Benji, put together some great advertising spots, which have been airing all week on WBAB 102.3. The spots highlight the “Go for the Green” Daytona 500 party, as well as all the charities involved. Weekend jock, Steady Eddie, helped voice the spots. Eddie along with Scott Benji will attend this weekend’s party and help with the Chinese auctions being offered at both venues. In addition, the WBAB 102.3 street team will be on hand, giving away some great WBAB goodies.
