Bicoastal Media stations named “St. Jude Radio Partner of the Year”
Members of Bicoastal Media radio stations from Oregon and California were recently in Memphis, TN., on the campus of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to accept the prestigious “St. Jude Radio Partner of the Year” award. The award was presented June 14th, to Bicoastal Media President, Mike Wilson; KRED-FM Eureka CA, morning host and Program Director Rollin Trehearne; Lakeport General Manager and KQPM-FM On-Air host Paul Thomas; and KRWQ-FM Medford, Oregon Program Director and Morning Host Bryce Burtner, by Richard Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude.
In the past 20 years, Bicoastal Media has raised over $9.5 million for St. Jude® fundraising through the Country Cares for St. Jude Kids program. These funds support pioneering research and lifesaving treatment by St. Jude for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Thanks to generous donors like those who participate in the Bicoastal Media radiothon events, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food so they can focus on helping their child live.
