The Hawk's Ocean Of Love Radiothon Takes Up Its Toms River Perch

TOMS RIVER, NJ — It's that time of year again: there's a Hawk's nest in the parking lot at Target, and the only way to remove it is by donating to Ocean of Love.

The annual Ocean of Love radiothon held by 105.7 The Hawk kicked off Tuesday at the Target shopping center parking lot on Hooper Avenue. The goal is to raise $105,700 for the charity that assists local children with cancer and their families, and DJ Andy Chase has taken up the perch on the billboard until that goal is reached.

Ocean of Love is an Ocean County-based organization that assists families with financial support, from assisting with hospital bills and gas money to support for bereavement groups.

Toms River Mayor Thomas Kelaher and Councilwoman Laurie Huryk stopped by to help kick off the event.

For those interested in donating, there are several ways you can help:

Visit the 105.7 The Hawk Billboard Radiothon in the Target/Lowe's parking lot anytime to make your donation in person.

Can't make it in person? Call 732-505-1057 to make a pledge over the phone.

You can also "pay to play" any song on 105.7 The Hawk. For a $20 donation they will play the classic rock song of your choice. For a donation of $50, they will play something from a different format (the song must be in their system). Call 732-505-1057 to make a "pay to play" donation.
