Sponsorship

Z-Care, our charitable fund, is designed to help local families and organizations in times of crisis.

People occasionally find themselves burdened by medical bills, devastated by house fires or finding little hope because of any number of unimaginable events.

ZCare is committed to making a difference to these families in our community. With the help of our sponsors, we provide support to our friends and neighbors in need.

Ridin' for a Reason. That's Big Bikes for Little Tikes. Our annual 100+ mile motorcycle ride benefits a seriously ill child from the Coulee Region, making their wish come true!

We've sent families to Disney, to the ocean to swim with dolphins and to a Nascar race to meet Matt Kenseth. We've built an adaptive playground in their backyard and installed an outdoor basketball court! One family went to the Northwoods for a fishing excursion and another on a Nickelodeon cruise.

These families have been through very trying times and Big Bikes for Little Tikes shows them they have the support of the entire community. The annual ride starts winds its way through the area including through the hometown of our Big Bikes child. The event ends with a post ride party where the family is waiting to thank the riders.

Hundreds of riders get a t-shirt recognizing that year's child, a free brat and chips and a chance to win one of multiple raffle prizes. All proceeds go to make a wish come true!

Help salute our troops with KQ98's May We Thank You. During the entire month of May, we recognize our Veterans and their contributions to our country both on-air and online.

We feature area American Legion Posts  including their programs and the support they offer our local service men and women.

Participate in a unique and fun event. The St. Patty's Day .01k: the world's shortest run at 10 meters (32.8 feet)! For 15 years we've been shutting down Pearl Street in downtown La Crosse to raise money and awareness for the Hunger Task Force!

Become part of something fun and important! We've donated over $60,000 to the Hunger Task Force because of sponsors like you. Sponsor logos appear on the back of each "runner's" t-shirt and are also promoted on-air and online.

Connect with listeners and establish your business as a pillar of support in our community. Every November, 95.7 The Rock hosts a special night of delicious food and beverages.

Piggy's own Chef Chris creates dishes especially for this event. He expertly pairs each of the 8 small plate dishes with either a glass of varying wines or delicious beer from the Pearl Street Brewery.

Proceeds benefit The Rock Foundation.

The Rock Foundation was created in the summer of 1999, by the staff of 95.7 The Rock. Their goal is to raise money to directly help Rock listeners in time of need.

Since its inception, we have been humbled by the continued support and generosity of you, the kick-ass Rock listener and our community.
