92.5 KAAR FM and Our Listeners in SW Montana Raised $12,262 For St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!!!
Cherry Creek Radio and Harrington Pepsi Cola Bottling recently held a radiothon in support of the children of St. Jude. Thanks to you the listener, we were able to raise $12,262!
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. Discoveries made there have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of today’s most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly.
All patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family’s ability to pay and it costs $1.4 million dollars per day for the facility to operate. Therefore, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has relied on radiothon fund-raising for over 30 years. Last year, KAAR FM helped to raise almost $10,000.
More than 800 members of the country music industry, from executives to recording artists and radio representatives gathered in Memphis Jan. 15-18 to join Country Music Hall-of-Famer Randy Owen in applauding past accomplishments and looking to future goals. KAAR FM was on hand and brought along a guitar donated by Len Waters Quality Guitars of Butte to be autographed by some of country music’s brightest stars.
The guitar, a Johnson “OOO” with a Flower Pot abalone headstock inlay with abalone diamond fret position markers, rosewood fret board, ebony bridge and bone nut and saddle upgrades done by Scott at Len Waters, is signed by major recording artists such as Randy Owen, Jessica Andrews, Jason Michael Carroll, Lee Ann Womack and many more!
Congratulations to Mary Rowe, who after becoming a Partner in Hope for the second year in a row, won the guitar along with knowing that she has made a difference in the lives of the children of St. Jude.
Special thanks to Ed Tech FCU and First Citizens Bank for being pin-up sponsors!
