No the duo is not staging a radio stunt in an attempt to garner rating points, the bad boys of the airwaves are attempting to stay awake and on-air for 53 straight hours with the goal of raising $53,000 for the Rotary for Kids fund that assists local children with disabilities.

Oschefski says the duo is never forced by their employer to take on the herculean task of staying up for two days straight it is a choice they gladly make on their own.

He says it is for a group of very special kids and helping them have rich and fulfilled lives is enough to jump on board year after year.

NADY spokesman Dooley Ricci says without the 53 hour marathon fundraiser the lives of NADY kids would be unfulfilled.
