Thousands of WGTS 91.9 listeners and people from around the nation made the trek to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before dawn to celebrate the 43rd annual Easter Sunrise Service on the National Mall. National Community Church sponsored the event, and WGTS partnered with them to get the word out to the community.

WGTS 91.9 helped welcome locals and visitors to one of the area’s biggest events, the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Each year over a million people, including visitors from around the world, come to the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., to see the burst of color of hundreds of cherry trees.

WGTS 91.9 just spent the weekend hanging out with over 13,000 of their closest friends at the TobyMac “Hits Deep Tour.” TobyMac grew up in the D.C. area, and the listeners showed up in the thousands to welcome him back. The station hosted a Friday and a Saturday show. Both shows were sold-out in advance, causing the promoter to add more seats on the side of the stage to meet the demand.
“We don’t have a lot of artists from D.C., so when TobyMac comes home, we want to go big,” said WGTS morning show host and marketing director Jerry Woods. “We want people to be blessed, and TobyMac and his team share Jesus in the most engaging, not to mention the most energetic, way possible.”

WGTS 91.9 recently wrapped up its “Days of Compassion” event. The event was featured on the air and website over the course of three days. In total, listeners sponsored 669 children. The focus this year was on sponsoring children in Peru, who are especially affected by the political unrest and food insecurity in their country. A number of children were sponsored from other countries too.
