WXBM Radiothon Continues Today For Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital

March 8, 2013

The WXBM 102.7 Radiothon for Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital continues today with a live broadcast through 7 p.m.

The broadcast is raising funds to provide sick and injured children in the local area with specialized equipment needed for their care.

Young patients and parents of children treated at Sacred Heart will be interviewed on the air about their experiences with the doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals at the hospital.

For the past 15 years, WXBM radio personalities including Marty White, Lindsey Marie, Lynn West, and Ryan Andrew have spearheaded the fundraising effort to encourage their listeners to pledge their support and donations to Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. Since the program’s inception, over $1 million has been raised by WXBM’s loyal listeners.

As of the close of the Radiothon on Thursday, $15,448.11 had been raised so far this year.
