St. Jude Radiothon Raises Over $100,000

Listeners to KZMQ-FM in the Big Horn Basin, and other Legend Communications radio stations across northern Wyoming, proved that Country Cares for St. Jude Kids.

During last week’s two-day radiothon, listeners of 18 radio stations from Gillette to Cody pledged over $100,000 to fund research and treatment at St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Mark Crump, General Manager of the Big Horn Radio Network, said that the $100,000 mark was reached just before the radiothon ended at 6 pm on Friday – exceeding last year’s fundraising efforts by almost $20,000.
