PLS Helps Pump Up B96’s “Jingle Bash” Concert

CHICAGO, IL—December 13, 2011: Illinois’s PLS Loan Store and PLS Check Cashers locations are sponsoring the B96 Jingle Bash, hosted by Chicago’s B96 (96.3 FM) on December 17 at the Allstate Arena. The annual Jingle Bash concert features performances by many of the top names in pop and hip-hop music.

The B96 Jingle Bash concert (www.b96.radio.com) has been sold out for months. As part of its sponsorship, PLS raffled off a set of tickets to the show. B96 morning air personality J Niice presented the tickets to the lucky winner during a remote broadcast at the PLS Loan Store/PLS Check Cashers superstore at 3175 W. 175th Street in Hazel Crest on December 10.

“The Jingle Bash concert has become one of the highlights of the holiday season,” said Bob Wolfberg, President, PLS. “We’re glad to join with our friends at B96 to bring these top performers to Chicago.”
