Bustos Media raised $143,067 during its annual radiothon benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, marking the 11th consecutive year the company has topped the $100,000 mark in donations.

"This was a great display of generosity by our audience during this difficult period of job insecurity and social concerns due to the hostile immigration policies by the Trump Administration," said Amador Bustos, President and CEO of Bustos Media. "This is our 11th year we have raised over one hundred thousand dollars for this great organization."

John Ortiz, St. Jude's Director of Music & Audio Engagement, praised the company's commitment, noting, "The Bustos Media on-air staff pour their hearts and soul to promote our radiothon. Their audience senses their genuine love for the work we do at St. Jude. That is why they respond so enthusiastically to St. Jude's effort to stamp out childhood cancer."

Bustos Media owns and operates 32 radio outlets across Wisconsin, Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington.
