From October 22 through November 22, Townsquare Media's WRKR-FM (Portage/Kalamazoo) held "Rocker 2 The Rescue" and staged its first-ever radiothon, benefiting Catholic Charities Diocese of Kalamazoo.  The effort was to raise money for charities that support families in Southwest Michigan as well as "hooking up the station's audience with tons of gifts for the holidays."

Throughout the month-long effort, the station's morning show did daily check-ins with different charities supported by Catholic Charities.

On November 22, the station wrapped up the fundraiser with a day-long broadcast 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. broadcasting live from Presidential Brewing Company in Portage for its first-ever radiothon, and giving out gifts all day long to listeners just for stopping by and saying hello.
