Tom Hays Joins Slam To Discuss His Career At Beaver County Radio

He’s been in Beaver County his whole life, he’s been with Beaver County Radio since 1981, and Tom Hays has seen the evolution of Beaver County and its illustrious sports history with an eye few can lay claim to.

In conjunction with our 70th Anniversary at WBVP & WMBA, Tom Hays joined Matt Drzik and Greg Benedetti on the Saturday Sports Slam to discuss his long and eventful (not to mention ongoing) career in the booth, covering high school sports for nearly four decades. Hays also talked about some of his favorite moments in broadcasting, as well as his views on the changes in high school athletics from the start of his tenure to the present day.

“BEAT FOR LIFE” Annual Benefit June 24th

4th Annual Music Festival

 

Beat for Life will hold its 4th annual benefit for students in the Ambridge Music programs on June 24th in the Eagle’s parking lot at the intersection of 4th St. and Park Rd.  The festival runs from Noon until 10 PM.

Entertainment will be provided by: For Those About to Rock, Ambridge Steel Drum Band, American Idol Contestant Aubrey Burchell, Bobby Thompson and the Groove, Mums Guns, The Mudslinger Band, The Sidewinder Band and The Eldorado Band.

There will be food vendors stationed along 4th St. between Maplewood Ave.  and Park Rd.  Vendors include: Tex-Mex Grill, Ambridge Eagles, Bridgetown Taphouse, Nalia, Ambridge Italian Villa, Brusters, Forte Wings and Grama’s Kitchen.

Our proceeds will benefit students in the Ambridge Area elementary music program.  Through our 2017 festival, we were able to provide seventeen instruments to our local elementary schools!  These instruments often help lower-income families whose children might otherwise be unable to reap the benefits of a musical education.

We believe music makes the world a better place!  As musicians, we feel strongly that the next generation should have an opportunity to explore the benefits and joy that music can provide!
