The two-day fundraising event will be held on Thursday, June 11th, and Friday, June 12th between 7am and 7pm. KRST on-air staff including Bev, Bobby, Juan and Mandi will be live from remote locations and will join together on social media through live stream and on-air, with interviews, artist performances and much more to support the kids of St. Jude. All funds raised by the KRST Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon will go directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and will support St. Jude patients and families who never receive a bill from St. Jude for the cost of treatment, travel, housing or food.
Kirtland Federal Credit Union, JPR Gravel and American Home Furniture proudly sponsor the 2020 KRST Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon. Last year, KRST raised $102,847 for the kids of St. Jude and surpassed its projected goal within just a few hours. This year, KRST is confident that the community will come together again to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude that no child should die in the dawn of life.
Country Cares for St. Jude Kids is the brainchild of Alabama lead singer Randy Owen and his friends in Country music who felt a deep need to give something of themselves in return for what Country has allowed them to become. Country Cares for St. Jude Kids thus was born in Country and is Country caring, becoming one of the most successful fundraising campaigns in radio history at more than $800 million raised in over 30 years. Fundraising is built around annual radiothons at some 200 Country stations across the U.S.
