Earlier this year during our St. Jude Radiothon, we introduced you to St. Jude patient, Adam. This amazing young man was the inspiration behind this year's St. Jude song, "Brave." And that's exactly what he is. While battling leukemia, Adam completed a half marathon, finished and graduated high school and created an army of supporters who have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars f
It's almost time for the Moonlight Ride in downtown Owensboro to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! This will be the third year bikers and riders will be gathering to ride all over city and help kids like Ben Halbig. Take a look!
Last year, Bradley DeHart traveled to Memphis with us to visit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. To say he was immediately changed and driven is an understatement. A couple of weeks later, he was standing beside me and Jaclyn and logging nearly 40 miles on a treadmill and raising thousands of dollars in our Sweatin' for St. Jude event. And, now, he's taking his support of the hospital one
Here at WBKR, we are spending the next two days trying to strike out childhood cancer. And every time we have our St. Jude Radiothon, we are always reminded of Lane Goowdin, the young man who, for many folks in the tristate, became the face of childhood cancer.

This year's Celebrity Phone Bank for the WBKR St. Jude Radiothon is one the most exciting and diverse line-ups we have ever had. We have local singers, artists, an elementary school choir and two nationally-known groups from Nashville joining coming to the WBKR studio to help us raise money for the children of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Wanna sneak peek at who'll be joining us? Che

His story truly inspired the world. When Lane Goodwin's "Thumbs Up" craze spread like wildfire through the digital landscape, I think every single person who heard his story was inspired. I know that I was. And Chad decided that Lane was the perfect inspiration for 2013's original St. Jude song.
Every year, we create a song for inspiring kids who are battling cancer and other childhood diseases during our St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Radiothon.
We first introduced you to Jeanna and Ella Dreamer four years ago during WBKR's St. Jude Radiothon. And, you'll likely recall, they were the inspirations behind our 2012 St. Jude song "Dreamer." Last year, we decided to put faces with the names for you and make an official video for our original song. Check this out! It's moving, powerful and yet more testament as to why you should b
A courageous patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital inspired a song and video from Darius Rucker. The performance and story told in this video sum up what radio stations nationwide are standing up for this week.
We say it every year, and it's completely true... Thursday and Friday are our two most favorite work days of each year. It's time for our WBKR St. Jude Radiothon.
