Cumulus Media's radio stations in Indianapolis raised a combined $1,055,853 in December 2025 through charitable radiothons benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Make-A-Wish.
The bulk of the funds came from sister station 99.5 WZPL, which collected $824,983 during its 36-hour Make-A-Wish Request-A-Thon on December 5-6.
Meanwhile, 95.5 WFMS raised $151,814 and 104.5 WJJK raised $79,056 (plus an additional $681 from a silent auction) through their respective St. Jude Radiothons held December 11-12.
The 95.5 WFMS St. Jude Country Cares Radiothon and 104.5 WJJK St. Jude Rocks Radiothon featured 25 hours of live programming per station dedicated to fighting childhood cancer.
Thanks to these efforts, St. Jude ensures no family ever receives a bill for treatment, allowing them to focus solely on their child's recovery.
WJJK's silent auction included items such as a Fender guitar autographed by the band Styx and co-hosting opportunities with morning host Greg Browning and midday personality Steve “Stu” Stuart.
Additionally, WFMS hosted its annual Stuff the Studio Toy Drive on December 6-7, collecting toys at Walmart locations in Greenwood and Fishers, IN, to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis.
The events were broadcast from Cumulus Media Indianapolis at 6810 North Shadeland Ave.
