The total for the Z107.5 St. Jude Radiothon when it went off the air Friday came to $93,957, $5,569 more than the $88,388 raised last year.
At the event’s conclusion, station program director Matt McKenney, said, “After years of doing the radiothon, I’m always blown away by the generosity of the people in my hometown.”
Radiothon chair Nancy Darland echoed McKenney’s feelings and added, “We had a lot of volunteers who helped us succeed in this effort. To them – along with the generous donors and sponsors – we give our deep, heartfelt thanks.”
Darland is a member of the co-sponsoring group, the Zeta Rho chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha service organization.
Darland said the total will actually go somewhat higher within the next few days as additional contributions and deposits are made.
