Albuquerque Radio: Country KRST To Host St. Jude Radiothon

CUMULUS MEDIA announces that Albuquerque radio station 92.3 KRST Country will host the third annual KRST Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon benefiting the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. 

The two-day fundraising event will be held on Thursday, December 16th, and Friday, December 17th between 6am and 7pm. KRST on-air staff including Bev, Bobby, Juan, Mandi and Elaina will be live on-air from the KRST studio and on social media through live stream, with interviews 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, Power Ford and Lerner & Rowe proudly sponsor the 2021 KRST Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon. Last year, KRST raised $87,455 for the kids of St. Jude. 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.
