South Amboy Internet radio station BlowUpRadio.com (“Where New Jersey Rock Lives”), will broadcast its 19th annual ‘Banding Together Webathon” October 16, 17 & 18 to benefit the Spondylitis Association of America, a non-profit organization “educating, empowering and advocating for people living with spondylo-arthritis (https://spondylitis.org/about-saa/).

According to the station’s founder, Lazlo, "When I started this benefit back in 2007, I was not sure enough artists would want to be involved to make this possible. Nineteen years later, I am so grateful to the original music community for always coming together for this benefit, allowing me to pair my passion for music, with wanting to help worthy causes. I started doing the Banding Together benefits after my wife was diagnosed with Spondylitis. There is little I can think of worse than watching a loved one in pain and being powerless to help. This benefit is something I can do to make a difference and raise money to help find a cure." The disease affects 3.2 million Americans. For more information, visit https://www.blowupradio.com/.
