Townsquare Media Radiothon to Benefit Quiet Oaks Hospice, DWOS

UNDATED (WJON News) -- You have the chance to make a big impact on a local nonprofit on Tuesday, March 12th.

The Townsquare Media-St. Cloud stations (WJON, 96.7 The River, 103.7 The Loon, Mix 94.9, Granite City Sports, and Minnesota's New Country 98.1) are hosting a day-long radiothon with all of the money raised benefitting Quiet Oaks Hospice House in St. Cloud during the Women's Fund Presents Dancing With Our Stars event.

WJON News Director Jim Maurice is one of the 'Community Stars' dancing in this year's event and has selected Quiet Oaks as his charity.

We have $15,000 in matching donations so far ($2,500 each):

• Chip & Bill Martin-Chaffee
• Stearns Bank
• K. Johnson Construction
• Deerwood Bank
• RBC Wayne Schluchter Investment Group
• Liberty Bank

(If you would like to be one of our matching donors, please reach out to Kristin Darnall at Quiet Oaks Hospice House at kdarnall@qohh.org for more information.)

The donation form is live now, for anyone who wants to give right away.

We'll have hour giveaways throughout the Radiothon on March 12th with random drawings for our radio friends who donate.  Prizes include Coborn's gift cards, tickets to upcoming shows at The Ledge Amphitheater in Waite Park, and tickets to Led Zepplin/Journey at Target Field this summer.

The winning dancer in the DWOS event will earn an additional $15,000 for their chosen charity, second place gets an extra $10,000, and so on.  Sixty percent of the final score is based on the dancer's fundraising totals, and 40 percent is based on their final dance performance.

The Radiothon will also be a day to learn a lot more about the great work Quiet Oaks Hospice House has been doing in our community for the past 15 years, and the services they want to continue to provide for years to come.
