Lewis University Radio (WLRA) & United Way of Will County Team Up With XNet to Bring You the Spirit & Sounds of the Season

Welcome to the XNet blog. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our  RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The holiday season has arrived with its usual dance of dry leaves and dropping mercury. To spark the spirit of giving Lewis University Radio (WLRA) has partnered with United Way of Will County to put a spotlight on United Way and their 46 Partner Agencies whose year round mission is to help alleviate the struggle of those less fortunate in the community.

WLRA will be playing Christmas music from Thanksgiving until New Years and instead of commercials, every 15 minutes they’ll air brief messages about United Way Agencies and what they’re doing to make things a little bit better for a whole lot of people who need it. The real gift is that WLRA is doing this free of charge so United Way can focus on what it does best, helping people.

So what does this have to do with XNet?

Well, first of all we host WLRA’s website and streaming internet radio, and we’re proud to see one of our clients doing something this generous. With the economy the way it is every little bit counts, and over a month of free advertising for United Way accounts for more than a little.

On top of that we wouldn’t feel right if we just sat around talking about what others are doing. Whether it’s the Silicon Prairie Social or the upcoming TEDx Naperville we’ve always got our hands in something that we hope will give back to the community.  So in support of WLRA, United Way and their 46 Partner Agencies, XNet will be donating, completely free of cost, the bandwidth for streaming WLRA on the internet.
