Relay FM Kicks Off Its Fourth Annual Fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Today, Relay FM, which was founded by our close friends Stephen Hackett and Myke Hurley, kicked off its annual fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help combat childhood cancer. We’d love it if MacStories readers joined us in supporting this cause.

You can make a donation by visiting here.

If you’re a MacStories reader, there’s a good chance you have listened to one of the shows Federico co-hosts on the network or have another favorite, in which case you may have already contributed. However, if not, please consider donating.

St. Jude plays an important role in the fight against childhood cancer, treating kids, and doing research with other medical facilities around the world. Your donations help ensure that families aren’t charged for treatment, travel, housing, or meals, so their sole focus is helping their child get better.

Relay FM will be raising money for St. Jude through the end of September, with the highlight of the drive being Podcastathon, a multi-hour extravaganza featuring special guests from your favorite Relay FM shows that will be held September 16th and will be streamed on Relay FM’s Twitch channel.

This year, Relay FM has added the ability for others to start their own fundraising campaigns to help it achieve its goal. Anyone who participates and raises $1 or more will earn a special Relay FM challenge coin. Raise $250 or more, and you’ll receive a deskmat decorated with a sea of Myke and Stephen cartoon heads.

Thanks in advance for checking out Relay FM’s fundraiser for St. Jude and to all who donate.
