WJXL (1010 XL & 92.5 FM Sports Radio)/Jacksonville, FL raised $249,784 during its 15th annual Jay Fund Radiothon supporting local families tackling childhood cancer. This year's total set a new radiothon record surpassing 2021's previous record of $243,369. Over the fifteen years 1010 XL has hosted the event, the Jay Fund Radiothon has raised just under $1.6 million.
"I'm truly amazed at the generosity of the 1010 XL listeners in times when a carton of eggs cost six dollars," said General Manager Steven Griffin. "And equally amazed how the hosts, producers, radio staff and volunteers come together with a singular focus to year-after-year produce these results in one broadcast day."
The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund was created by former Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin in honor of Jay McGillis, who developed leukemia while a member of Coach Coughlin's team at Boston College. For over 25 years, the Jay Fund has evolved in size and scope helping over 5,000 families and giving away over $16 million in grants in Northeast Florida and the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area.
