WKML and Sunny 94.3 in Fayetteville, NC have successfully concluded their 38th annual Country Cares Radiothon, raising a remarkable $207,273 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The event, held on December 11th and 12th, showcased the community's commitment to supporting pediatric cancer research and treatment.

Listeners and community members joined the two-day fundraiser, contributing through donations that will help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. This initiative allows patients to focus on recovery without the burden of costs.

WKML Program Director Sarah Weaver emphasized the impact of local support: "The funds raised during this year's radiothon will go directly toward supporting St. Jude's mission: ensuring no child dies in the dawn of life. We are honored to partner with St. Jude and to witness the incredible generosity of our community in action."

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tennessee, leads the way in pediatric cancer research, providing cutting-edge treatments to children worldwide. The success of the radiothon highlights the crucial role of community and local radio in rallying support for vital causes.
