Bob's Buddies Radiothon tops $62,000 for PBTF

(Raleigh, N.C.) The first annual "Bob's Buddies" radiothon on Raleigh's G105 (WDGC-FM) raised $62,688 in cash and pledges to benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) last month.

The live broadcast, hosted by Bob & The Showgram, featured interviews with patients, families and brain tumor researchers. The 12-hour event at Crabtree Valley Mall took place the day after Thanksgiving.

"When we think of Thanksgiving each year we are reminded of the warmth of family and friends who gather to celebrate their close ties to one another," said PBTF President Mike Traynor. "We thank everyone who took time out of their holiday celebration to make contributions to help save the lives of children with brain tumors. It was grand day for celebrating and an even more powerful day for brain tumor patients thanks to Bob Dumas and his G105 crew."

"I’m so proud to live in the Triangle when people open their hearts and help children like Bob's Buddies and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation," said Dumas, an adult brain tumor survivor and host of Bob & The Showgram. "What a wonderful organization. I can’t wait until next year!"
