Guiding listeners through the two-day radiothon event was local and national Audacy talent who encouraged Country fans to become a St. Jude partner in hope by pledging $19 a month to help kids at St. Jude fight cancer. Each listener who became a partner in hope is set to receive the brand new “love music, stop cancer” t-shirt.
The $2,784,244 raised will help ensure St. Jude patients and their families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, housing, travel or food. This allows them to focus their full energy and attention on recovery.
Over the years, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opening nearly 60 years ago. While surely an outstanding accomplishment, St. Jude and its supporters, like Audacy, won’t stop until they’ve reached 100%, meaning no child dies from cancer. Ever.
