mily and Mark Shelton have been a part of our WBKR St. Jude Celebrity Phone Bank since I can remember. When they were first asked to join us, they immediately rolled up their sleeves to pitch in. Mark tuned his guitar. Emily warmed up her glorious voice. Then, they joined us in the WBKR studio and made musical and fundraising magic.
Last October, Brandon Cox flew halfway across the world to do something he can't do in his hometown of Owensboro, Kentucky. He flew to the African nation of Tanzania to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and he did for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
On December 1st, 2024, folks here in Owensboro and Daviess County lost a very close, trusted, and well-respected friend. Local businessman Mark Shively, who owned Shoe Stop, passed away at age of 64, following "a long valiant fight with cancer." His enduring spirit and love for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are with us this week as we continue our annual tradition- our own fight against the "monster."
