What’s In A Name?

What's in a name? The familiar phrase pops up in conversation often. This weekend, your name means more than you'll ever know to a kid with cancer. Here's how your name can make a difference.

Q98.5 is the champion for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the Stateline. Our annual Q98.5 Radiothons have raised over $3.5 million dollars to help in the battle against cancer since 1992. Here's how you can join in the battle with just your name.

We've printed up paper "Q's" for St. Jude Children Research Hospital.

Simply stop into any Illinois Bank and Trust location in the Stateline and ask for one from the teller. Then, sign your name or your significant others name, your kids names, even you pet names for only a $1 each. The possibilities are endless. Points for excellent penmanship will not be added by the way. Listeners have even drawn cute pictures in place of name, and more. It's all good to the kids.

Your donations will then be collected and donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to help beat cancer.

It only takes a few minutes to help. You can even roll through the banks drive-thru window and be a part of the fun.

Simply stop by the Illinois Bank and Trust location at Riverside and Perryville, Harrison, just West of Mulford, East State Street just West of Alpine, and on Route 173, just East of Alpine. Deadline to sign a "Q" is Wednesday March 4, 2015.

Your name will proudly be displayed as a loving, caring and thoughtful person who has joined in our battle again childhood cancer.

You might even have fun and enjoy writing your name on something other than a charge account.
