2008 Children's Miracle Network Radiothons Success!!
The 2008 GIANT
Food Stores' Children's Miracle Network
Radiothons were a success! The “RED Cares for
Kids” Radiothon, on RED 102.3 fm, was broadcast live
from Capital City Mall, Camp Hill on February 8-10,
2008. Then on February 22-24, 2008, the “I Care for
Kids” Radiothon, on The Big I 105 fm, was broadcast live from Lancaster
Harley Davidson/Buell, Willow Street.
The “RED Cares for Kids” Radiothon raised funds for a
cardiac ultrasound machine for
Children's Heart Group at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. This
state-of-the-art machine will provide optimal support for the pediatric heart
surgery program through echocardiography and tissue doppler, allowing doctors to
see the patient's heart in real-time. The “I Care
for Kids” Radiothon raised funds to update a pediatric operating room super
suite at Children’s Hospital.
This update brings the most advanced technologies to the pediatric surgery
program at Children's Hospital to help provide the best care possible for our
patients.
Children's Miracle Network would like to thank the RED 102.3 and Big I105 family
of listeners for helping to raise over $330,800 for Penn State Hershey Children's
Hospital during the 2008 Radiothons. Thank you for helping us to
celebrate another year of miracles!
Throughout each three-day event sponsored by Giant Food Stores®, radio
personalities interviewed Miracle
Children, Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital staff and physicians, local Children’s
Miracle Network volunteers, as well as patients and their families.
Listeners tuned in these two weekends in February to hear true Miracle
stories. Operators stood by to take pledges that will help provide
“world-class” care for the ill children of central PA treated at Penn State
Hershey Children’s Hospital.
