Bonneville Denver has announced that Country 98.5 KYGO has successfully raised $702,551 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital during their annual St. Jude Radiothon, setting a new donation record. The event, part of the St. Jude Country Cares program, took place on December 4 and 5.

The radiothon saw unprecedented community support, with over 500 listeners pledging to become a "Partner in Hope" by committing to ongoing donations. The enthusiasm continued with a benefit concert, the "St. Jude Jam," which featured performances by Bayker Blankenship, Kameron Marlowe, and Brothers Osborne. The concert, held at the renowned Grizzly Rose, sold out and contributed significantly to the fundraising efforts.

98.5 KYGO Program Director Brian Michel expressed immense pride in the station's efforts: "Our St. Jude Radiothon is the two most important days of the year on KYGO. I am so proud of our team's ability to connect and share stories with our audience, bringing hope to so many children in the world."
