Don Wadewitz

Danny Pudi, an actor on the television show Community, received the first-ever Chris Farley Scholarship at the same ceremony.

He broadcast the entire Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) women's softball tournament, hosted by Alverno College, from 2015 through 2018.

In March, 2012, he broadcast the Warhawks women's D3 NCAA first round tournament game against Carthage College at DePauw University.

In addition, Wadewitz broadcasts high school football, basketball, softball and baseball games on AM 940 WFAW and KOOL 106.5 FM.

[1] Wadewitz became the public address announcer and music coordinator for MATC men's and women's basketball in December 2010.

He has also served as the voice of the team's Internet video broadcasts of road basketball games during tournament time.

Minor League Football News named Wadewitz the Public Relations Director of the Year for the Central Region in 2004 [3], 2005 [4] and 2006 [5] for his cutting-edge efforts.

[6] Wadewitz convinced the team to go to a three-person radio broadcast in 2006, with him handling the sideline reporting, when he wasn't doing the play-by-play.

Fans reacted very positively to the new setup and the Raiders are now the only team in the North American Football League (NAFL) to offer sideline reporting during their radio broadcasts.

In 2008, Wadewitz helped the Racine Raiders become the first minor league football team ever to have a website dedicated solely to recruiting (http://playfortheraiders.com Archived 2008-03-23 at the Wayback Machine).

[8] Wadewitz was hired as the Media Relations Director for the North American Football League (NAFL) in February 2008.

The NAFL is the largest football league in the country, with over 120 member teams that compete in a national playoff tournament.

On May 15, 2002, Wadewitz started a small protest website, MLB Fan Strike, after Bill Michaels, a sports talk show host on AM 620 WTMJ in Milwaukee, suggested someone should start a website protesting a potential strike by Major League Baseball players or a lockout by the owners.

CNN [10], ESPN [11], ABC World News Tonight[12], as well as hundreds of local television and radio stations ran stories on MLB Fan Strike.

Writer Scott Allen, in placing the MLB Fan Strike effort at number six on his list, said, "The protest was perhaps the most organized in the history of baseball, thanks to the advent of the Internet, but the boycott didn’t exactly go as planned."

Wadewitz has also appeared on the ESPN show Outside the Lines [27], ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings [28], CNN [29] and dozens of local radio and television stations.
