Great Incentives To Donate To WKDQ’s St. Jude Radiothon
February 23, 2012 6:00 AM 
WKDQ’s St. Jude Country Cares Radiothon brought to you by Kenny Kent Chevy is now underway. From now until Friday at 7pm, you can lend your support to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the lifesaving work they do by becoming a Partner In Hope! If you do that, we have some very cool prizes you can win.
What does it mean to become a Partner In Hope? You have the opportunity to give a monthly gift of less than a dollar a day that helps fund care and research in pediatric cancer. If you become a Partner In Hope for $20 a month or more on your credit card, you’ll not only be helping the kids, but you’ll also get the following.
1. A free St. Jude/WKDQ T-shirt
2. An entry into a drawing for 2 INNER CIRCLE tickets for Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, and Thompson Square this Sunday in Evansville, plus two passes for the Lady A Lounge, with meet and greet and acoustic performance.
3. An entry into a drawing for a $2000 gift card good for K-Mart and Sears.
4. An entry into a drawing for a 2-night Romance Package at Gaylord Opryland Resort and an autographed WKDQ T-shirt featuring 30 artists including Ronnie Dunn, Randy Owen, The Band Perry, LoCash Cowboys, Craig Campbell, Sunny Sweeney, and the Eli Young Band. (One of these packages will be given away each day of the radiothon).
On top of all that, WKDQ will also have chances during the Radiothon to call in for other great incentives like tickets to this year’s Big O Music Fest, Taylor Swift merchandise, autographed items from Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Sunny Sweeney, Burns and Poe, Bucky Covington, James Wesley, and a limited edition WKDQ 20th Anniversary T-shirt signed by aritists like Martina McBride, Kix Brooks, Randy Owen, Eli Young Band, Randy Houser, Love and Thft, Eden’s Edge, Glen Templeton, Burns and Poe and more.
This is our way of saying thanks for being a Partner In Hope for St. Jude with Kenny Kent Chevy and 99.5 WKDQ!
