106.5 WYRK Country Cares for St. Jude Radiothon 2026

106.5 WYRK is excited to once again hold our annual Country Cares St. Jude Radiothon.

Join us Thursday and Friday from 6 AM to 7 PM as we share powerful stories of hope and strength, while Western New York comes together to help end childhood cancer.

This year’s Radiothon is proudly presented by WoodMaxx.

The 2026 St. Jude Radiothon will once again share inspiring stories of strength, hope, and resilience while raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude is known worldwide for its groundbreaking research and compassionate care. Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus entirely on helping their child heal.

Throughout the radiothon, WYRK listeners will hear firsthand stories from St. Jude patients and families and learn how continued research is saving lives and improving outcomes for children everywhere. Listeners are encouraged to become Partners in Hope by making a donation during the event.

Why Give to St. Jude?

When St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped raise the overall survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent, and they will not stop until no child dies from cancer.

Because of generous donor support, St. Jude provides cutting edge treatments not covered by insurance at no cost to families. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus on helping their child live.

A majority of St. Jude’s funding comes from individual donors, giving the hospital the freedom to focus on what matters most. Saving kids regardless of their financial situation.
