SERVICE TO COMMUNITY AWARD This category honors radio and television broadcasters for individual campaigns, projects, or programs that serve the public good or otherwise provide exemplary service to their local communities. KSTP-FM St. Paul, Minn. (Hubbard Radio) The Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund was established after Zach Sobiechs story was featured on the 2012 KS95 for Kids Radiothon. At 17 years old, Zach suffered from a rare and deadly bone cancer. Death is just another thing on the agenda, he said over a gently strummed guitar, I want everyone to know: You dont have to find out youre dying to start living. Zach turned to music for expression, and KSTP-FM recognized the powerful messages of hope contained in his song Clouds. After its debut on the station, the song went viral. Buoyed by such a response, the Sobiech family and the Childrens Cancer Research Fund established a fund dedicated to raising money for much-needed research on osteosarcoma. Through ongoing support by KSTP-FM, the fund has raised nearly $750,000.
