KLOS & St. Jude Ready To Rock
• Meruelo Media and Classic Rock 95.5 KLOS/Los Angeles announced their annual, two-day “St. Jude Rocks” fundraiser, presented by Stella Rosa Wines, happening this Thursday & Friday, February 27 & 28 from 6am-7pm each day.
This year, KLOS will supersize its efforts by pulling together the legions of listeners and massive talent from its new sister stations — KPWR (Power 106), 93.5 KDAY, KLLI (Cali 93.9) and KWHY-TV 22. All monies raised during the 26-hour on-air and online event will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Keith Cunningham, PD of KLOS, said, “In each of our first two years holding this event, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support, as KLOS listeners set Rock Radio records for St. Jude, raising over $1.5 million for the kids. This year will be even bigger, as we invite our Meruelo Media sister stations, their talent and listeners into the mix, as we try to make a positive and healing difference for children all over the world who suffer from life-threatening illnesses. It’s important to know that St. Jude patients and families never receive a bill from St. Jude for the cost of treatment, travel, housing or food. Special thanks goes to our sponsor, Stella Rosa Wines, for their generous support of ‘St. Jude Rocks.'”
