Radiothon to benefit T.C. Thompson Children's
Hospital
Each year T.C. Thompson Children's
Hospital Foundation partners with a local radio station to host
a radiothon, broadcasted live from T.C. Thompson Children's
Hospital. As a member of the prestigious Children's Miracle Network
(CMN) we receive logistical support and visibility, but 100% of funds
raised goes directly to programs at Children's Hospital.
Cure Kids Cancer Radiothon Twenty
five years ago, childhood cancer was a death sentence. Today the cure rate for leukemia, the
most common childhood cancer, is 80-90%.
Cure Kids Cancer (CKC ) Radiothon raises funds to support the vital
research needed to continually improve treatment options
and survival rates. This
money helps fund toys, games, playrooms, camps, teen outings and other support services
that help ease the stress of dealing with this terrible
disease. |
