Radiothon

UNIVISION's radio stations in 15 markets raised $4.7 million for ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL in this year's PROMESA Y ESPERANZA radiothon on DECEMBER 5th and 6th. The event encouraged donations of $20 per month or more, with donors receiving "Esta Camiseta Salva Vidas" t-shirts, the Spanish-language edition of the "This Shirt Saves Lives" campaign. UNIVISION has been hosting national radiothons for ST. JUDE since 2006 and has raised over $75 million for the hospital in that time.

"As one of the country's leading media organizations, we consider it a privilege and honor to host the annual PROMESA Y ESPERANZA radio event in support of ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL. Our staff -- from radio and television, to digital and social -- is proud to champion the #EstaCamisetaSalvaVidas movement and to help support the beautiful work that happens at ST. JUDE each and every day," said UNIVISION Pres. of Radio JESUS LARA. "UNIVISION's audience shows its love and support of the hospital's work by donating and proudly wearing the #EstaCamisetaSalvaVidas t-shirt. Together, we are committed to ending childhood cancer in the UNITED STATES and worldwide."

"Thanks to the tireless support of partners like UNIVISION, ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL is able to share its groundbreaking discoveries to patients in the UNITED STATES and around the world," said RICHARD C. SHADYAC JR., President/CEO of ST. JUDE's fundraising and awareness organization ALSAC. "Together we will not stop until no child dies in the dawn of life."
