Cumulus Media's Country KHKI (Nash-FM 97.3) and Classic Rock KGGO-FM/Des Moines delivered again this year to help the children at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through the annual Music Gives to St. Jude Radiothon. The two-day on-air and online fundraiser was held on both stations Wednesday, February 22 and Thursday, February 23. This year's total topped $77,900 in donations from the stations' listeners.

Cumulus Des Moines Vice President/Market Manager Jack Taddeo said, "Regardless of economic headwinds felt by donors this year, Nash-FM and KGGO listeners came through again for the children and families of Iowans who rely on St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."

Nash FM 97.3 Program Director Andrew Vonahnen commented, "Over the two-day radiothon, our staff delivered the message and mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to the people of Central Iowa. And we are heartened, again, by the generous response from our fans."

KGGO Program Director Chad Taylor added, "I continue to be impressed by the generosity shown by central Iowans toward St. Jude every year. We are fortunate to have such a strong base of support from 95 KGGO listeners."
