Awards Through The Years
We Support
At Excite Radio Network, we believe in using our voice for a purpose greater than ourselves. That’s why we proudly support Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to advancing research, advocacy, and services for individuals with autism and their families. Autism touches families across every community, including our own listeners, team members, and supporters. By supporting Autism Speaks, we’re helping to raise awareness, promote early diagnosis and intervention, and ensure that individuals on the autism spectrum are accepted, understood, and empowered to live fulfilling lives. Our commitment to giving back is rooted in love, respect, and community — because every voice deserves to be heard, and every person deserves the opportunity to thrive.
