PHILADELPHIA, PA – December 23, 2025 – Seven Audacy stations teamed up and raised $3.2 million for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital during the 36th annual “Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon.” All proceeds go towards supporting St. Jude’s life-saving mission: Finding cures. Saving children.^® 

Between December 11 and 12, U.S. 101 (WUSY-FM) in Chattanooga, US99 (WUSN-FM) in Chicago, 99.5 WYCD (WYCD-FM) in Detroit, KMLE Country 107.9 (KMLE-FM) in Phoenix, Y108 (WDSY-FM) in Pittsburgh, 103.7 KSON (KSON-FM) in San Diego and Froggy 101 (WGGY-FM) in Wilkes-Barre held on-air radiothons, asking listeners to become Partners In Hope and contribute monthly donations. The $3.2 million 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.

Hosted by local on-air personalities and national Audacy talent, including Katie Neal, Holly Hutton and Rob Stone, the two-day radiothon drove significant listener engagement and donations. Highlights included an emotional interview on 103.7 KSON with a St. Jude mother, who detailed how the organization provided her daughter with years of life beyond initial medical expectations. This year’s event also featured an exclusive St. Jude takeover hour hosted by Country superstar Luke Combs.

“Our national radiothon series is fueled by the incredible dedication of our Audacy team, who put their hearts into supporting the kids at St. Jude,” said Tim Roberts, Country Format Vice President, Audacy. “Radio’s greatest strength is its ability to unite communities, and the selfless support from our audience this year has been nothing short of inspiring. Our partnership with St. Jude remains a cornerstone of our mission, and every dollar donated is a victory in the fight to end childhood cancer.”
