CUMULUS MEDIA Sports WGFX (104.5 THE ZONE)/NASHVILLE air personality and TENNESSEE TITANS radio host JONATHAN HUTTON has been named 2019 Man of the Year for the TENNESSEE Chapter of the LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY.  HUTTON earned the honor by raising funds and awareness for the organization.

During a 10-week campaign held in FEBRUARY, HUTTON and his team at 104.5 THE ZONE raised $152,499.31 through an off-the-record event with TITANS controlling owner AMY ADAMS STRUNK, a HORSE-style basketball tournament, a MASTERS-themed golf competition at TOP GOLF, and a chalk talk draftee breakdown and dinner with NFL FILMS’ GREG COSELL. 

HUTTON and 2019 LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY Woman of the Year for the TENNESSEE Chapter ABBIE HENDRY-HAMMETT were honored as the top fundraisers at a finale event held at NASHVILLE’s CITY WINERY on SATURDAY, APRIL 27th.

“The 2019 MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR candidates broke all the local fundraising records," THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY, MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR Campaign Dir. CHRISTINA RYAN said. "For 10 weeks, these committed individuals put their heart into raising as much as they could in the fight against blood cancer. Their collective efforts will impact patients and their families, locally and nationally, and help LLS get closer to our mission of beating cancer. As an organization we are grateful and proud of all they accomplished, and grateful to Cumulus Nashville and the reach they allowed LLS to have with their platform.” 

“I and our entire CUMULUS/NASHVILLE family could not be more proud of JONATHAN HUTTON and the team that supported him," CUMULUS/NASHVILLE VP/Market Manager ALLISON WARREN said. "I am in awe of the sheer volume of events, programs and features he and his team created and executed flawlessly in a 10-week period raising an impressive amount of money. Many of our 104.5 THE ZONE listeners and clients supported JONATHAN fiercely and to that I'd say we have the best listeners and clients.”

“We are incredibly proud of JONATHAN’s efforts throughout this campaign," WGFX PD BRAD WILLIS said. "Our listeners supported his campaign, and turned out in great numbers for every event. We have phenomenal listeners, and greatly appreciate their contributing to a great organization like LLS.”

“This was a team effort and it started with the listeners of 104.5 THE ZONE and MIDDAY 180," HUTTON said. "Every dollar donated mattered, and our listeners stepped up and then some. Thanks to everyone who joined TeamHutton1045 to help LLS of TENNESSEE. Those dollars represent hope, awareness, support, and a future cure. Beating cancer is in our blood.”
