The Arc of Warren County Radiothon with WRNJ Radio on June 3 has a significant goal—to raise $67,000 in honor of the Arc’s 67^th anniversary.

WRNJ will devote the whole day to sharing stories about the impact of The Arc of Warren County’s work with individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, from families, consumers, community leaders and employees.

The 2021 Radiothon will be co-chaired for the third year in a row by Jim Travis, of SASCO Otterstedt Insurance, and Norman Worth, of WRNJ Radio. Both Travis and Worth have advocated for the organization and individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities for over 30 years. Additionally, Travis serves on the Board of Directors for The Arc of Warren County.

“On behalf of The Arc of Warren County, I would like to express my gratitude that WRNJ has provided our Agency with the vehicle to be able to conduct this fundraiser for over 30 years,” said John Whitehead, CEO of The Arc of Warren County. “I also want to thank Jim Travis and Norman Worth for agreeing to be co-chairs for this event for the third consecutive year. Their support has been instrumental in the success of past Radiothons.”

The Arc of Warren County continues to be committed to providing services to its consumers and residents who have intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout the pandemic. Children enrolled in its Early Intervention program are still receiving services, which enable them to achieve their best developmental outcomes, and residents in its Community Living Arrangements programs are still receiving quality care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Essential services are provided to many of our people who live independently in our community. 

The agency also intends to hold five weeks of in-person day camp at Camp Warren.

As such, the Radiothon will provide important assistance to help maintain and resume these and others services.

The Radiothon is a 31-year tradition that was the inspiration of longtime Arc Foundation Executive Director, Kevin Guyette, who passed away in October 2018.
