Q98.5 St Jude Radiothon Raises $79,460 to Fight Cancer
Two days of incredible sharing and caring at the 25th Annual "Country Cares For Kids" St Jude Radiothon wrapped up on Friday.
Through your efforts, we climbed that monumental hill to the top once again and raised a ton of money to help out St Jude Children's Research Hospital at our 25th annual Q98.5 St Jude Radiothon. Through your efforts we raised $75,460 for St Jude kids in 2017!
A quarter century of caring...thank you!
Our Grand Total for 25 years: $4,029,190
We heard from awesome Q98.5 listeners all across the Stateline who embraced the St Jude Mission of saving children, helping family's while conducting incredible research to get rid of cancer once and for all
Back in 1962, St Jude founder Danny Thomas said "No Child Should Ever Die In The Dawn of Life"
Here is the moment the grand total was revealed on Friday.
