The radiothon also received promotional support from other local CBS radio and TV stations. Appearances by station personalities at the hospital provided entertainment for phone bank volunteers, patients and families.

“Taking care of our patients is our number one priority, and we could not do it without the support of our community and great partners like 103.7 Lite FM and Mega 107.5,” said Michael Frick, president of the Children’s Medical Center Foundation. “We’re grateful for the outpouring of support from the listeners as we continue to make life better for the more than 200,000 patients we serve each year.”
