In 1997, 106.9 The Fox initiated the Mayflower Marathon to support local food banks and address the pressing needs of our neighbors during the holiday season. The event's impact grew even stronger in 2008 when The Fox's sister station, FM99, joined forces to make the Marathon even more substantial. The stations boast an incredibly generous and community-minded listening audience, and by promoting the event on both platforms, they knew they could significantly increase the number of donations and illuminate the holidays with hope.

Fast forward to today, we are preparing for the 28th Annual Mayflower Marathon and are thrilled to invite you to be a part of this round-the-clock food and fund drive. With 57 hours to participate, giving has never been easier. Simply drive through one of our two locations where volunteers will be on hand to accept your donations. For those unable to visit the sites in person, online giving allows you to make a powerful impact from wherever you are and encourage others to do the same.

Last year's event was nothing short of remarkable, as we collectively gathered enough food and monetary donations to provide more than 730,000 meals. Every year, this extraordinary effort ensures that more neighbors can share holiday meals with their loved ones, creating memories that resonate with the true spirit of the season.
