iHeartMedia Nashville’s 97.9 The BIG 98 and the Bobby Bones show announced the all-star lineup for the third annual 97.9 The BIG 98’s Friendsgiving, on November 10, 2025, at Opry House. Proceeds from the event will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the leading children’s hospital pioneering research and treatments for kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

97.9 The BIG 98’s Friendsgiving will be hosted by the entire BIG 98 on-air family, including The Bobby Bones Show, Brooke Taylor, Wayne D, Tay Hamilton, Brady & McKiddy. The evening will feature inspiring stories about the hospital’s patients and their families.

“Friends coming together for an unforgettable night at the Grand Ole Opry to encourage and support St. Jude children is why Country music and The Big 98 exist,” said Gator Harrison, iHeartCountry Brand Coordinator and Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Nashville. “These are the moments that matter.”
