WDMK (105.9 Praise)/Detroit Listeners Rally, Raise $102,524 For St. Jude
BEASLEY MEDIA GROUP’s WDMK (105.9 PRAISE)/DETROIT recently raised $102,524 during its annual PRAISE Radiothon, benefiting ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL. The two-day event aired live from the station’s studios.
Veteran on-air personality RANDI MYLES anchored the broadcast, joined by Pastor KEENAN KNOX from IMPACT CHURCH. This year’s total surpassed last year’s $74,798, marking a record-breaking milestone for the fundraiser. Cluster sister stations WRIF (101.1), WCSX (94.7), and WMGC (105.1 THE BOUNCE) provided on-air support, encouraging listeners to donate.
MYLES said, “I was honestly so nervous this year during the Radiothon because I really wanted to break the $100K mark. When we received that final PARTNER IN HOPE donation that tipped the scale, I became incredibly emotional! Thank you to everyone at BEASLEY MEDIA DETROIT, especially BEN PEREZ, JADE SPRINGART, CLAY CHURCH, and the teams from KISS, BOUNCE, WCSX, and WRIF for all of your support! I’m over the moon!”
Funds raised help support ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL in its mission to provide treatment for children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Families of patients never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
