The 104.5 WOKV Care-a-thon Presented by Duval Asphalt celebrates its 11th anniversary in 2025. The two-day radiothon encompasses 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. The weeklong radio campaign culminates in a live two-day broadcast from Nemours Children’s Health, which includes an online silent auction. 100% of the proceeds go to benefit Child Cancer Fund services.
Currently in Northeast Florida, there are around 300 children in active treatment for cancer. On average, around 150 children in the region are diagnosed with cancer every year. For over 30 years, Child Cancer Fund has provided these families with practical, educational, financial, and emotional support – including new psychosocial music and animal-assisted therapies – during this difficult time.
Experience the joy of help local families during their cancer journey by volunteering at the 2025 Careathon presented by Duval Asphalt on Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16.

8/18 - 2025 Careathon - Final wrap up
Thanks to your generous donations, the WOKV Careathon raised $400,000 for the Child Cancer Fund. Items are still available in the Careathon Auction until noon, or you can always make donations at CHILDCANCERFUND.ORG. On behalf of Carla Montgomery at CCF, Duval Asphalt, and WOKV, thank you Jacksonville!
Rich Jones, Carla Montgomery, Clark Howard, and Jennifer Garrett of Duval Asphalt wrap up the first day of the 2025 Careathon. Donations are welcome to continue through Saturday 8/16 until 5pm. The final total will be announced on Monday, but as of this wrap pledges are at $363,000! That will make huge differences for families on the pediatric cancer path. To donate more, visit CHILDCANCERFUND.ORG.
Two of the veteran children who have been both patients and ambassadors for the Child Cancer Fund help close out the first day of this year's Careathon. They share the kids-eye-view of what the Child Cancer Fud's support means, and their families add their perspectives. When a doctor says you have cancer, it can feel like the world stops. But it doesn't. It just keeps coming. And the Child Cancer Fund is there to help those families as they find their feet, face the challenges, and walk their journey. You can join the support family, and see them through. Donate at CHILDCANCERFUND.ORG.
