I could do Stephen A. 's job, guys. It's not that hard. Danny Parkins. QB1 party. All are invited. Host of Fox Sports 1's First Things First. Coming in at number six, though, the team that should be the favorites in the NFC North, though the odds makers say they're the third best team, my Chicago Bears. Why can't the Chicago Bears be the best offense in football? The Bears, plenty of reason to doubt them. Caleb Williams, no. Former host of 670 The Score, before he abandoned us. That's a Caleb Williams custom, baby. Jersey number one is going to the Raptors.
You guys made it seem like a Chicago Bears fan. We had our guy, Danny Parkins, all these guys. Danny Parkins on 104.3 The Score.
We go to our hotline. That is where Danny Parkins joins us. You know Danny. He's on the newly expanded First Things First OT from 4 to 5 on Fox Sports 1. He's also a friend of our show. He also used to work with us. He is at Danny Parkins on Twitter, and he joins us on Twitch, twitch.tv slash thescorechicago. Hi, Danny. What can you share with us today?
I can share whatever you guys want. Hi, Layla. Hi, Marshall. What up? Hi. But no, this is very exciting. I think we can finally officially announce that the third annual Cubs for a Cure Radiothon is back. And it is happening very soon. May 21st to the 22nd. We are like six weeks away. 10 a.m. to 10 a.m. May 21st to the 22nd. Kicking off Cubs for a Cure weekend. Last year we raised $750,540 on this very Radiothon with 100% of the proceeds. Going to cancer research, raised about $1.5 million over the whole weekend with 100%. Going to cancer research charities, the Radiothon proceeds, going to Brain Up, of which I am on the board of directors. And as you guys know and the score audience knows, I got really involved in this after my brother Brad passed away.
And somewhat serendipitously... 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 Boers, in honor of my brother Brad, and in honor of everybody who's facing cancer still to this day.
Danny, I would say I've seen how this has grown over the years, and you've been the change that you wish to see in the world. And while it doesn't replace what we've lost, I feel like you've done so much for so many people in this. And to have so many people already contributing, like, for example, our mom on Twitch is only three people away from their $2,000 donation already. I think it makes a lot of people feel better about knowing they're doing something to help.
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.
