FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lotus Communications Corp.'S Tucson FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Amir Forester, 310-857-6207 [email protected] Lotus Communications Corp.’s Tucson Station Raises Nearly $94,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital LOS ANGELES, March 29, 2013 – Recently, Lotus Communications Corp.’s 102.1 FM La Caliente in Tucson, Ariz. raised nearly $94,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during their 8th annual two-day radio-thon. Over the course of those eight years, the station has raised more than $400,000 to benefit St. Jude research in fundamental basic sciences, translational research, clinical trials and long-term follow-up for patients. Program Director Enrique Mayans says, “Thanks to the participation of all my co- workers and to our generous Tucson community, we surpassed our goal of raising $90,000 this year.” About St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted to children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life.
