Holiday music won’t be the only thing playing on 104.3 WBBQ and 102.3 the Bull on December 13 through 15. You’ll hear the stories of local families whose children have benefited from care at the MCG Children’s Medical Center. Both stations will be broadcasting live from the lobby of the MCG Children’s Medical Center, December 13 and 14, from 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and December 15, from 6 a.m. to noon.

The Radiothon is one of the hospital’s largest fundraisers of the year and helps ensure that the MCG Children’s Medical Center provides the best and most loving care to children and families across the Southeast.

“During the Radiothon, we ask listeners to tune in as our patients and families talk about what a difference this hospital has made in their lives and in this area,” said Connie Guinn, Officer in the Office of Philanthropy and Partnership, for the MCG Children’s Medical Center. “It truly is a blessing to have a local children’s hospital. As a not-for-profit organization, we depend on you to help us continue to serve our local community.”

Since 2000, this annual event has raised more than $480,000, $180,000 of which was pledged last year. 

During the Radiothon, supporters are invited to make a pledge, call in or visit the hospital lobby to share their stories of how the MCG Children’s Medical Center has helped them. Pledges can be made by calling 706-262-WBBQ (706-262-9227 or 706-364-BULL (706-364-2855), or by going online at www.MCGHealth.org/kids.
