Each year for the last 22 years Citadel Broadcasting Company has offered a major 12 month commitment to a public service organization. Citadel Broadcasting Company has provided each organization with public visibility and assistance in special fund raising projects through a grant of over $100,000 worth of air time on 3 radio stations - WOKQ, WPKQ and The Shark - broadcasting on 4 frequencies and in-kind services.

In addition, Citadel Broadcasting Company grants two regional awards for organizations serving the Seacoast area and the New Hampshire North Country. The Seacoast winner will receive a major public service campaign on WOKQ 97.5. The New Hampshire North Country winner will receive a major public service campaign on WPKQ 103.7.
