LOMA LINDA>> K-FROG 95.1 FM has once again worked a miracle for the kids at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH). The radio station held the 16th annual Stater Bros. Charities K-Froggers for Kids Radiothon on Wednesday, Dec. 7, raising more than $340,000 for the hospital. The event broadcasted live on 95.1 FM (Riv/SB/OC/LA) and 92.9 FM (Temecula Valley) from Bass Pro Shops in Rancho Cucamonga. Over the past 15 years, K-FROG has raised more than $5 million through the radiothon alone. Listeners could call in or go online to make donations. All proceeds from the radiothon will go to support the pediatric hematology/oncology unit as well as other programs at LLUCH. The cause of most cancers is unknown, but 1 in 330 Americans will develop cancer before the age of twenty. It is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States. As part of their ongoing purpose to help improve and transform the communities the markets they serve, Stater Bros. Charities was again the presenting sponsor for the event, donating $200,000 to the event. A check was presented to LLUCH during the radiothon.
