Memphis, TN - December 18, 2025 - Cumulus Media Country station, KIX 106 (WGKX-FM) in Memphis announces that its annual Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon on Thursday, December 11^th, raised a record-breaking total of $535,209 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This marks the largest amount ever raised by the popular Country station during the annual one-day on-air and online fundraiser.

"This is what local radio is all about - connecting with our listeners and making a real difference," said Morgan Bohannon, Vice President/Market Manager for Cumulus Memphis. "We're beyond proud of our team and grateful to our listeners for stepping up in such a big way in this extraordinary show of generosity and community spirit. St. Jude is a beacon of hope for families everywhere, and we're honored to support their mission."

"This community never fails to amaze us," said Argo, Program Director for KIX 106. "Every dollar raised helps St. Jude continue its lifesaving mission, and we couldn't do it without the incredible support of the Mid-South."

All funds raised will go directly toward St. Jude's groundbreaking research and treatment, ensuring that families never receive a bill for care, travel, housing, or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

KIX 106 extends its deepest gratitude to its listeners, sponsors, volunteers, and the St. Jude team for making this year's Radiothon an unforgettable success.
