Tuesday, March 6 was one exciting day for 94.9 the Surf!

Radiothon Tent at the Surf Station

Citizens of Horry County dropped off checks and cash to several locations…Horry County American Cancer Society, Barefoot Landing, North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, and the studio of the Surf. A lot of our Internet listeners called in with a credit card donation, and still others gave through the American Cancer Society link on our homepage.
