(Afro) — WHUR 96.3 FM and Howard University will host a 12-hour radiothon from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 6, to help send hundreds of Howard University students to cities across the United States and possibly Haiti to provide critical services to those in need. The “Helping Hands” radiothon asks listeners to phone in, drop by the radio station or to go online to make a contribution so students can travel to Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Atlanta and here in the Washington to help families struggling with a variety of issues. Plans are under way to send a small cadre of students to help families in Haiti who are still reeling from last year’s devastating earthquake.
