This is the 30th year that B100 has raised money for the children and families of St. Jude.

The money raised goes toward paying for treatment, travel, housing, and food for the children and families while their patient is receiving treatment. 

B100 has raised, to date, over $5.1 million dollars and is hoping to make it over $5.5 this year.

Thursday and Friday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. the call center will be open with volunteers at the ready to answer both calls and text messages pledging to be a Partner in Hope or a one time donation.

Partners in Hope with receive a pair of B100 Birthday tickets along with a St. Jude shirt saying "This Shirt Saves Lives".
