Denver, CO – Bonneville Denver announced today that 98.5 KYGO, Denver’s #1 for New Country, has raised $702,551 through their annual St. Jude Radiothon to help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital defeat childhood cancer!

But the fundraising didn’t stop there! The station also hosted a benefit concert, St Jude Jam, with performances by Bayker Blankenship, Kameron Marlowe and Brothers Osborne to a sold-out crowd at the world-famous Grizzly Rose on the evening of December 5th.
