Today at NewsTalk 96.5 KPEL in Lafayette, where my radio show airs every day, they are hosting their annual St. Jude Radiothon. All throughout the day, we’ll be encouraging our listeners to become Partners In Hope and donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Center.
Several years ago, when I was working at another radio station in my hometown, I was sent to St. Jude as part of the training for a Radiothon we’d be putting on. The trip was both amazing and sad. Amazing because of the work they do, but sad because you get to meet the people who are working with children suffering from cancer and the families that have to go through the experience.
What St. Jude does is truly phenomenal work. I cannot begin to describe what I felt being there, seeing what they do, and talking to the people who work with these children and families.
On my show today, I’ll be encouraging my listeners to become donors. I am encouraging the same of you. Donating is simple. You can do so online at www.stjude.org, by phone at 1-800-372-4999 or you can text "LIVE" to 626262 and click the link from St Jude to donate via your smartphone.
Our goal this year is to raise $250,000 for the babies at St. Jude. Please join us.
