Country Cares for St. Jude Kids® is one of the most successful radio fund-raising programs in America. Since the program began in 1989, more than 210 radio stations across the country have participated and have raised more than $315 million in pledges for the patients of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. The radiothon program gives listeners the opportunity to learn about the life-saving work of St. Jude and the chance to become Partners In Hope who give monthly donations to the hospital.
In addition to station and listener support, more than 100 country music artists have dedicated their time to Country Cares by recording appeals, visiting St. Jude or participating in radiothons. Some of these artists include Randy Owen, Brooks & Dunn, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Clint Black, Lonestar, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Wynonna.
