K-FROG 95.1 FM has once again dedicated its airtime to raise funds for patients on the hematology/oncology unit at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH). The 14th annual Stater Bros. Charities K-Froggers for Kids Radiothon raised nearly $320,000. At the end of the Dec. 2 event, which broadcast live from Bass Pro Shop from 5 to 7 a.m., the total raised was a phenomenal $314,000. However, the outpouring of support continued in the days following as the community continued to make donations online, bringing the total up to almost $320,000. In the wake of the tragic shooting in San Bernardino, some donations were made in memory of the victims. “There was still so much support from the community,” said Tiffany Hoekstra from LLUCH Foundation. Over the past 14 years, K-FROG has raised over $5.3 million for LLUCH through the radiothon alone. “We are so incredibly grateful to Stater Bros. Charities for their tremendous support of this wonderful radiothon,” said Jillian Payne, executive director, LLUCH Foundation. “The K-FROG listeners really came through for our patients as well. Their support will provide hope and healing to children battling cancer through the holidays and all year long.”
