Help Y105 Raise Money for Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital!
There have been a lot of things happening behind the scenes here at Y105 over the last couple months. At last, I'm able to share with you that we are bringing back our radiothon in support of the University of Iowa Health Care Steady Family Children's Hospital!
Our radiothon will take place Friday, December 6th from 6am to 6pm LIVE on Y105! You can tune in/call in with a donation while I speak with several families about the care and treatment their child received/is receiving at the Iowa City hospital, or you can contribute directly to the hospital via our new "Gold Rush" page!
For our radiothon, we have partnered with the Children's Miracle Network and Loras College with the intention to help make a difference:
Last year, the hospital provided care for over 100,000 patients [....] These kids hail from all corners of Iowa, all 50 states, and over 20 countries—they could even be from your own community or family. Despite battling serious illnesses and undergoing treatments, they choose University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital for its life-saving care, which your generous donations make possible. - per our Children's Miracle Network radiothon page
I had the pleasure of taking a tour of the wonderful Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital in August. It's such an immaculate establishment, thoughtfully designed and unlike any hospital I've ever seen. Everything was designed with children in mind. For example, each floor is color-coded and represented by an animal. This is due to the fact that kids might not remember they are on "floor six," but they'll remember, say, the turtles that line the walls of that specific floor.
During our radiothon on Friday, December 6th on Y105, I will be talking with patients and families directly impacted by the Children’s Miracle Network and University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children's Hospital. Not only do I want these stories to be heard, I want them to inspire you to donate and know what you're donating to.
Times are challenging for all of us. Give according to your ability to give. If it's a dollar, that's wonderful! If it's more, that's wonderful too! This is about extended a hand to a wonderful hospital and a beacon of care and compassion that's right in our backyard: the University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children's Hospital in Iowa City.
We hope you tune into Y105's 2024 Children's Miracle Network Radiothon on Friday, December 6th!
