The 27th Annual K99.1FM Cares for Kids Radiothon raised $206,700 for Dayton Children’s Hospital, adding to the 5.97 million dollars raised since the live event’s inception. Fundraising proceeds will be used to secure five NICU high-tech Giraffe Omnibeds.
“We are so proud to support Dayton Children’s—and, over the course of our partnership, K99.1FM has raised millions of dollars to help children in our community,” said Cox Media Group Ohio Vice President and General Manager, Darren Moore. “The Miami Valley is fortunate to have such a prestigious hospital here, and we are happy to offer our continued support.”
K99.1FM’s Cares for Kids Radiothon began in 1997 and continues to serve today as a partnership with Dayton Children’s Hospital and Children’s Miracle Network.
“It’s hard to believe that we’ve been on the air with the Radiothon for 27 years. There’s nothing more important than serving the community in such a big way. K99.1FM and Dayton Children’s Hospital will always be linked together,” said Nick Roberts, Director of Radio Operations, Cox Media Group Ohio.
“Dayton Children’s patients and families are fortunate to have the dedication and passion to change kids’ lives from our friends at K99.1FM, as well as all of the sponsors this year. After an impressive 27 years running, this event continues to inspire us to serve our community and do more, so all kids thrive,” said Jena Pado, CFRE, Vice President and Chief Development Officer. “We could not provide the world-class care that we do for every patient who walks through our doors without the support of K99.1FM’s listeners and all of the donors who step up each year. We are deeply grateful for this year’s gift, along with years and years of support—raising more than $6.1 Million!”
