going to cancer research raised about 1.5 million dollars uh over the whole weekend with a hundred percent going to cancer research charities the radiothon proceeds going to brain up of which i am on the board of directors and as uh you guys know and the score audience knows uh got really involved in this after my brother brad passed away and uh somewhat serendipitously uh

Brad passed away three years ago today, so it's kind of interesting timing that this announcement was able to come out today.

I've been thinking about him a little bit extra this morning, and he really loved – he was on the score, and he really loved the first Radiothon that we did for Austin Harvest, and I know he would be very proud of how this thing has grown.

Just listen, I mean, already on board for this upcoming Radiothon, we've got Cubs Charities –

We have Mr. Duct Cleaning, Carl Allegretti and Arbor Investments, Doug and Stacey Meyer, Jeffrey Lamorte Salons, Russ Armstrong, the Chicago Window Guy, Etna, Joe and Josh Stefani, John Gavin, Midwest Refrigeration, Four Corners, The Brain Tumor Network, and my new employer here, Fox Sports.

all on for hour or multi-hour sponsorships of the Radiothon.

Great organizations.

If you or your company want to get involved, you can reach out.

I've obviously done a lot of cool things in my career.

And in my personal life, I'm most proud of my two young sons.

But in terms of my professional career,

this is the thing that I am most proud of.

It is number one.

It is the singular accomplishment of my career.

So I can't wait to come back in about six weeks and raise some more money for cancer research in honor of Lynn Bramer, in honor of Ryan Sandberg, in honor of Terry Bores, in honor of my brother Brad, and in honor of everybody who's facing cancer still to this day.

Yeah, I love, you know, I know MX Hawker and Mario and Hyde Park were trying to organize the Twitch mob, so I really appreciate that.

And, you know, it's great.

If you can donate $50,000 or $10,000 or $5,000 and you want to sponsor a portion of this thing, like, amazing.

We set up a new email address to reflect the new call letters of the score.

So it's 1043, 1043 radiothon at gmail.com.
