10th annual Careathon is one week away

Jacksonville, Fl — We’re one week away from the 10th Careathon, presented by Duval Asphalt, benefitting the Child Cancer Fund of Northeast Florida. 2024 also marks the 30th anniversary of the Child Cancer Fund.

To celebrate these milestones, Careathon is expanding to two days. Beginning at 5:00 am on August 22, WOKV and other Cox Media Group radio and TV stations will deliver stories of pediatric cancer patients and families who have benefitted from the generosity of donors.

104.5 WOKV will bring stories of courage, hope and survival - along with celebrity appearances and other surprises along the way. Since 2015, Careathon has raised more than $2 million for the Child Cancer Fund.
