Radio-a-thon raises record amount for Camp Quality

A late donation to the 14th annual K-JO 105.5 Radio-a-thon helped set a fundraising record.

The 12-hour event on Friday at Sav-On Furniture Mart raised $22,904 for Camp Quality of northwest Missouri. According to KKJO Morning Personality Gregg Lynn who hosts the Radio-a-thon each year, a local business owner contacted him Wednesday to ask how much was raised and what the goal was. Lynn said the goal was $25,000 so the business owner wrote a check for $2,100.

“We are constantly amazed at the generosity of the community here in St. Joseph,” Lynn said. “This money will all stay local to support Camp Quality of northwest Missouri… and will make a huge impact in the lives of these kids.”

Camp Quality is a week-long summer camp for kids who have cancer. It offers a summer camp experience and yearly support for the kids and their families. Each camper is matched with at least one companion for the week who takes care of the camper and makes sure they have everything they need for a great camp experience.
