2008 KISS Cares for Kids Radiothon Signs-Off with over $341,000 Raised after Three Days On the Air
The annual K ISS Cares for Kids Radiothon, which aired Thursday, Jan 31 – Saturday, Feb. 2 on WKSE-FM Radio, KISS 98.5, announced it raised over $341,000 during three days on the air to benefit Women & Children’s Hospital.
“The KISS Cares for Kids Radiothon has had an immeasurably positive impact on the lives of countless children and their families throughout Western New York,” said Cheryl Klass, RN, MBA, President, Women & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo. “On behalf of these families, we are so thankful to Janet, Nick, Wease, and the entire team at KISS 98.5 and Entercom Radio who worked tirelessly throughout the entire three-day event filled with compelling and often emotional stories of patients with their families, physicians and other caregivers at Women & Children’s Hospital.”
Broadcasting live from the Women & Children’s Hospital, KISS 98.5 Morning Show hosts Janet, Nick & Wease invited listeners to pledge donations by calling phone lines staffed by volunteers from Tops Markets, AT&T, Tim Horton’s, Wilson Farms, First Niagara and Wal-Mart/ Sam’s Club.
The KISS Cares for Kids Radiothon is coordinated with the Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping kids by raising funds for local children’s hospitals across North America. One hundred percent of the proceeds generated during this Radiothon will benefit Women & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.
During it’s five year history the radiothon has raised over 1.6 million for the hospital.
