Meruelo Media’s 95.5 KLOS has taken rock radio philanthropy to the next level, raising $1.28 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 26 hours. The station’s seventh annual fundraiser invited Los Angeles listeners to become “Partners in Hope.”
KLOS Program Director Keith Cunningham said, “This is our 7th year partnering with St. Jude and each year we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support by KLOS listeners. We are proud to share that listeners set the rock radio fundraising record for a single station over $1.28M for the kids.”
“There are children who suffer from life-threatening illnesses, and we try to make a positive and healing difference for these children and their families. It’s important to know that St. Jude patients and families never receive a bill from St. Jude for the cost of treatment, travel, housing, or food.”
Meruelo Media CEO Otto Padron thanked his staff for a, “Top-to-bottom team effort.” He added, “This is all for the kids fighting cancer at St. Jude. Thanks to all the KLOS on-air talent, engineering, digital, promotions and sales. It was also heart-warming to have Power 106, Cali 93.9 and the KDAY teams supporting the cause!”
