Roofsit began in 1996 when two DJs from U93 wanted to make a difference for victims and survivors of abuse in the Michiana community. What started as a bold idea quickly became a powerful movement. The DJs spent an entire week living on the rooftop of a local business — eating, sleeping, working, and broadcasting live around the clock — all to raise awareness and funds for abuse prevention and survivor support services.

Throughout the week, they shared emotional stories from survivors through letters, phone calls, interviews, and personal testimonies. Listeners responded in an incredible way, donating to help provide counseling, education, prevention programs, and critical services for children and families affected by abuse.

Since its beginning, Roofsit has raised more than $3 million to support local agencies dedicated to preventing child abuse, helping survivors heal, and educating the community on how to break the cycle of violence. Every dollar raised stays right here in the Michiana area and is distributed to organizations serving families in the Michiana community.

Today, U93 and WNDV-FM continue the tradition by dedicating extensive on-air coverage to sharing stories, educating the public, and raising funds for child abuse prevention and recovery programs.

Roofsit brings together survivors, counselors, nurses, doctors, law enforcement, attorneys, advocates, and community organizations to shine a light on the realities of child abuse and neglect — while also highlighting the hope, healing, and support available to families in need. Alongside live broadcasts and community donations, special events and local business partnerships throughout the week help raise critical funds to continue this life-changing work.
