Univision Radio Austin hosts fundraiser

Univision Radio Austin will celebrate their annual Promesa y Esperanza (Promise and Hope) event.

The event benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^®, one of the world’s top centers for childhood cancer treatment and research where families never receive a bill for care.

Univision Radio Austin stations – KLJA 107.7FM and KLQB 104.3FM – will broadcast the two-day event in Austin, encouraging listeners to become Ángeles de Esperanza (Partners in Hope) by donating $20 a month to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude.

WHERE: KLJA 107.7FM and KLQB 104.3FM (10801 N. Mopac Expwy #2-250 Austin, TX 78759)

HOW: To make a donation, listeners can call 1-800-998-VIDA (8432) or visit www.promesayesperanza.org.  For more information or to volunteer during the radiothon, please contact Pastor Giraud at 713-478-3360.

WHY: Interviews are available with patients like Roberto, who are currently receiving treatment at St. Jude, and who will share their moving stories with listeners. Roberto was diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called medulloblastoma in his native Mexico and was referred to St Jude where he receives the best medical care thanks to the generous donations of Ángeles de Esperanza. St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states, Puerto Rico and around the world. Thanks to events such as the Promesa y Esperanza Radiothon, St. Jude is able to offer families like Roberto’s world class treatment, housing, food and transportation at no cost.

During the last 50 years, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Thanks to the supporters, one child saved at St. Jude means thousands more saved around the globe. That’s because St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital freely shares what we discover with everyone in the medical community. They are a national hospital with a global mission. As St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital enters a new chapter in its history, join them as they advance treatments and care that will one day cure childhood cancer and other deadly diseases.
