The 12th Annual WOKV Care-a-thon presented by Duval Asphalt raised $380,917 for local families battling pediatric cancer. The two-day radiothon encompassed all the North Florida Cox Media Group stations – eight radio and three television – to bring together more than one million listeners and thousands of additional supporters. To date, it has raised more than $2.4 million for Child Cancer Fund programs and families.

Currently in Northeast Florida, there are around 300 children in active treatment for cancer, with an average of 120 children in the region being diagnosed with cancer every year. For over 30 years, Child Cancer Fund has provided these families with practical, educational, financial, emotional and psychosocial support during this difficult time.
