Happy Birthday to Us!!!
This past weekend, WZZA hosted its annual anniversary celebration.
The celebration was held at Second Half Studios in Sheffield.
There was food, that was provided by many local businesses, whom we give warm thank you’s to, and a time for fellowship with our listeners and supporters.
We had prizes, games, music and so much fun. For all that were not there, you all missed a great time! We look forward to see all that is to come for us in the future, not only in the station but also growing in our community and with our listeners and supporters! So… On to next year!

Recent Events
WZZA Radio in association with the North Alabama Sickle Cell Foundation, Inc. (NASCF), announces the Sixth Annual Sickle Cell Radio-thon February 26th, 27th and 28th 2010. WZZA’s “breaking the sickle cycle radiothon” is designed to increase public awareness of the sickle cell disease and to expand financial support for the various programs administered by NASCF, whose mission is “improving the quality of life for individuals who suffer from sickle cell condition”. NASCF provides a variety of services including patient enrichment, counseling, educational programs, screenings and financial support.
Please make your tax-deductible donation or pledge to this worthwhile event and help to “break the sickle cycle”.
"WZZA Radio is proud to present our annual Sickle Cell Radiothon to benefit the North Alabama Sickle Cell Foundation. We have for many years made it a point to educate our listeners about health issues which disproportionately affect people of color, but this particular cause has long been close to our hearts. Our very own Leonard Skipworth, who can be heard Sunday mornings with the best in gospel music, lost his brother Glenn Allen Skipworth to Sickle Cell Anemia. When we were approached in 2004 by the Foundation, they explained that much of their state funding had been cut, creating a desperate situation for patients suffering from Sickle Cell. That year, and each year since then, WZZA Radio has joined with them to encourage those in our community to give from their hearts. With the help of our listeners, we have been blessed to raise approximately $10,000.00 annually to assist with the expenses faced by Sickle Cell patients. We could not do it without our listeners and supports, and we are grateful. WZZA would like to thank each person who has given, no matter what the amount, to this very worthy cause." Tori Bailey, General Manager, WZZA
