Relay Turns Up the Volume on Fundraising for St. Jude

Since launching their first campaign in 2019, Relay’s annual St. Jude fundraiser has become a September tradition: part podcasting marathon, part community lovefest. Listeners get everything from heartfelt mission moments with St. Jude families to the hilariously chaotic Podcastathon, a 12+ hour livestream packed with surprises. Through it all, Relay’s creators weave donation calls-to-action directly into their shows, making support for St. Jude feel as natural as tuning in.

But what makes Relay’s campaigns truly next-level is how they empower their audience to become fundraisers themselves. Over 200 community members launched their own Tiltify pages in 2023 alone, raising thousands more through personal streams, social media, and even matching gifts. Plus, with donation incentives like custom digital bundles and exclusive sticker packs, the whole experience feels more like a movement than a fundraiser.

Relay’s story is proof that when podcasters use their platform for good, the ripple effects are massive. Myke Hurley, Stephen Hackett, and their crew have shown that creativity, consistency, and community can change lives—and they’re just getting started. Whether you’re a podcast pro or just hitting record for the first time, there’s inspiration to be found in the Relay for St. Jude campaign. Tune in, give back, and get loud for a cause that matters.
