Become a St. Jude Partner in Hope

Once a year, country music artists, record labels, managers, songwriters, and radio stations team up to help support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

XL Country 100.7 is hosting its annual two-day radiothon, Feb. 16 and 17 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Last year, the XL Nation raised  $108,759 for St. Jude.

One way to help St. Jude is by becoming a Partner in Hope for $20 a month. Your donation goes to help St. Jude treat children battling cancer and conduct research that may one day lead to a cure. Call 1-800-372-4999 to become a Partner in Hope.

Some St. Jude Facts:

• 81 cents of every dollar received has supported the research & treatment at St. Jude.
• In 1962, the survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common form of childhood cancer, was 4 percent. Today, the survival rate for this once deadly disease is 94 percent, thanks to the research and protocols developed at St. Jude.
• Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent when the hospital opened in 1962 to more than 80 percent today.
