The 26th annual St. Jude Radiothon, hosted by iHeartMedia's Country WTQR (Q1041.1) in Greensboro successfully raised $177,890 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The fundraiser took place on December 5th and 6th and featured Q104.1's air personalities, including The Bobby Bones Show, Angie Ward, JT Bosch and Aaron Michael.

During the two-day event, the radio personalities urged listeners to join the fight against pediatric cancer by signing up as monthly donors, referred to as "Partners in Hope." The radiothon not only highlighted the groundbreaking work done by St. Jude in treating children with cancer and other severe illnesses but also shared poignant stories from patients and their families, emphasizing the impact of community contributions.

Q104.1 Program Director JT Bosch expressed his gratitude towards the listeners: "Country music truly cares for the children at St. Jude. Our listeners' generosity and passion are evident as they continue to support this vital cause year after year. We are committed to the fight to ensure that no child dies from cancer."

Over the years, Q104.1 has contributed more than $5.8 million to St. Jude, demonstrating the station's long-standing commitment to supporting healthcare advancements and the well-being of children.
