With much excitement, Sound Chat Radio announces its 4th Annual Easter Bread & Bun Giveaway, sponsored by JN Bank and VP Records.
Sound Chat Radio said the highly-anticipated event has become a staple in the multimedia platform’s growing resume of community efforts.
“The giveaway’s reach will be maximized this year with the support of sponsors JN Bank and VP Records, leading institutions in the financial and music/entertainment sectors,” it said. “Both share with Sound Chat Radio a core value of community and a Caribbean foundation.
“Now billed as a tradition by Sound Chat Radio listeners, the Easter Bread & Bun Giveaway provides an opportunity for the greater community to come together and enjoy the Jamaican spirit of Easter,” it added. “Listeners also get to meet the broadcasters they love and support on air every day.
“For many, it is the perfect way to put a face to the voice,” Sound Chat Radio continued. “The meet ups humanize the broadcasters and create a strong sense of connection between audiences and them.”
Garfield “Chin” Bourne, Sound Chat Radio founder and chief executive officer, said: “It’s the little things that we practice in our everyday lives that keep us connected to our community and culture.
“Bun & Cheese during the Easter holiday signifies way more than a snack,” he added. “It’s nostalgic, giving us a sense of home. It says we are Jamaican.”
Overall, Bourne said Sound Chat Radio recognizes the importance of showing appreciation to their loyal listeners, who have been supporting it for the past 13 years.
“The Easter Bread & Bun Giveaway is just one of the ways the station expresses their gratitude,” Bourne said.
In addition to the Easter Bread & Bun Giveaway, Sound Chat Radio hosts an annual Jamaican Mango Giveaway and a free Cookout, among other efforts, for its listeners and the neighborhood.
Bourne said these events have grown to become signature ones for the station, serving as a way for Sound Chat Radio to foster a sense of unity and appreciation amongst New York City residents.
