8th Annual Radiothon Sacramento

Listen. Share. With us, it's personal.

Be part of the miracle.

February 21, 22 and 23 on your favorite station.

Radio stations throughout North America partner with Children's Miracle Network to hold radiothons in their communities. These radiothons raise money locally to help kids at affiliated Children's Miracle Network children's hospitals. Radiothon Sacramento is the most moving and compelling radio you will ever hear. For 36 hours - three days and nights, local radio stations break from their usual format so that families of patients at UC Davis Children's Hospital can tell their stories of inspiration, hope and healing. Now in it's eighth year, our stations, 98Rock, KWOD 106.5, Smooth Jazz 94.7 KSSJ, 96.9The Eagle, 107.9 The End, and ESPN 1320AM, has raised more than $3 million, touched thousands of volunteers and has been supported by community and corporate Miracle Makers, such as Foresters, who underwrites the costs of the Radiothon nationwide, Wild Bill's Tattoo's - over $16K last year, Silverado Middle School, which raised over $6000, and Kentucky Fried Chicken helped raise over $35,000 with their Miracle Meal.

Share. Your story or donation.

With us, it's personal. During our 3-day event, to be held February 21 - 23, 2008, stations program a mix of patient stories, facts and interviews into regular programming to raise awareness of and funds for UC Davis Children's Hospital. Keeping with the CMN tradition, all funds raised locally stay local, benefiting the sick and injured children that visit UC Davis Children's Hospital each year through special programs, services, life-saving equipment and cutting-edge research.

Every donation, large or small, symbolizes a commitment to the health and well-being of kids in our community. Gifts help us to deliver state-of-the-art treatment, translate promising research from the laboratory bench to the bedsides of patients, and train the next generation of pediatricians.

We invite you to join us in creating a brighter future for children and families. To make a donation online, click the donate now button.
