Country station Y96.9, Colorado Springs, announced Monday that its 10th annual Country Cares for St. Jude Kids radiothon raised more than $101,000 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The on-air fundraiser took place on February 25-26 from 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. each day. The two-day broadcast featured iHeartMedia Country radio talent Bobby Bones and Y96.9 on-air personality Brian Taylor, who shared inspiring stories of children and families undergoing care at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“This is just one more example of the influence that iHeartMedia and Y96.9 has in Southern Colorado and the great work we get to do every day with the power of radio,” said Tim Hager, President for iHeartMedia Denver Region. “We are very proud to work with such a great organization as St. Jude and very proud of our listeners who have, once again, exhibited such amazing generosity.”
