B105 St. Jude Radiothon Returns March 5-6 with Support from Kia of Duluth

On March 5 and 6, the Twin Ports community will once again come together for the B105 Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon, a two-day on-airfundraiser benefiting St.

Jude Children's Research Hospital. Sponsored locally by Kia of Duluth, the radiothon is a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community unites around a life-saving mission.

Broadcast live on B105, the radiothon shares real stories from St. Jude patients and families, along with updates on how donations directly impact children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Childhood cancer remains the number one cause of death by disease for children under 14 in the United States, and nearly 16,000 families will hear the words "your child has cancer" this year alone.

Why St. Jude Matters

What sets St. Jude apart is its unwavering promise: families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. That means parents can focus on what matters most-helping their child live. Because of research and treatments developed at St. Jude, the childhood cancer survival rate has increased dramatically over the decades, and the hospital's mission continues until no child dies from cancer.

St. Jude is also expanding its reach by:

• Increasing the number of new cancer patients treated

• Growing research into diseases like sickle cell and blood disorders

• Expanding survivorship programs for long-term care

Kia's Commitment to the Kids of St. Jude

Kia's support of St. Jude extends far beyond this local radiothon. Nationwide, Kia has been a proud St. Jude partner for years, helping raise millions of dollars through customer and dealer participation. During national campaigns, a donation is made for every new Kia vehicle sold or leased, directly supporting St. Jude's lifesaving work.

That same spirit of giving is reflected locally through Kia of Duluth's sponsorship of the B105 Radiothon. Their involvement helps amplify awareness, encourage donations, and ensure the stories of St. Jude kids reach thousands of listeners across the Northland.

How You Can Help

During the March 5-6 B105 St. Jude Radiothon, listeners are encouraged to tune in, donate, and consider becoming a monthly Partner in Hope. Every contribution - big or small- helps fund research, treatments, and hope for families who need it most.

Thanks to community support, local sponsors like Kia of Duluth, and the generosity of listeners, these two days on B105 become about more than radio. They become about saving lives- and proving that together, we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
