It was 12 hours of Christmas cheer, live local music and fundraising to help those in need during the holidays.
The Country 90.5 FM and 106.3 Jet FM radiothon helped unofficially kick off the Santa Fund on Friday.
Co-chair Tracy Sloan says the community helped raise a lot of money.
“Thanks to all of you we have raised approximately $15,177,” she said as the broadcast wrapped up on Friday evening.
Officials say that brought the total raised so far to $30,000 – or about 15% of the overall goal.
Donations can still be made on the Santa Fund website or at Gem Sewing on Worthington.
Upwards of 475 Christmas baskets with a holiday meal, groceries and gifts will be delivered this year.
