Amarillo—The annual fundraiser for St. Valentine Catholic Radio, RadioThon, is underway and will continue until Friday afternoon at 5:55pm. The event can be heard on 1010AM and 94.5FM, KDJW; online at kdjw.org; and, on a low-power FM in Castro County near Nazareth at 105.5FM, KHFN-LP.
The fundraiser begins at 8:00am and conclude at 5:55pm each day. As in the past, there will be live hours from 8:00am to 9:00am, noon to 1:00pm and 5:00pm to 6:00pm. The station will also pause at 3:00pm to offer the Divine Mercy Chaplet in song.
To encourage contributions for this year’s RadioThon, the station is offering listeners a chance to enter a drawing for a chance to win one of three prizes, which will be given away in a drawing on Sept. 16. They are: • The ultimate John Michael Talbot gift box, featuring a number of autographed books and CDs; • Season tickets for two for the 2022-23 season of the Lone Star Ballet, including tickets for The Nutcracker, taking place in December; and, • An Insulation Package from Milo Insulation, for a home up to 2,500 square feet, valued at $4,200.
“Any contribution made to St. Valentine Catholic Radio will qualify for the drawing of the donor’s choice,” said Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ Sister Miriam Grady, who is the station’s general manager. “As an incentive, if you become a new monthly donor, your name will be entered twice in the giveaway of your choice.”
Letters regarding this year’s RadioThon have been sent to those who have contributed in the past. If you have not returned that letter to St. Valentine Catholic Radio, please do so or call the radio station and they will assist you in filling it out.
Hosting the annual fundraiser for Catholic Radio in the Diocese of Amarillo will be Chris Albracht, diocesan director of communications who hosts The West Texas Catholic: The Audio Version on Friday afternoons at noon.
