Morgantown radiothon to benefit WVU Children’s Hospital
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The 13th Annual Q for Kids Radiothon benefiting West Virginia University Children’s Hospital will hit the airwaves live on Nov. 17.
WVU Children’s Hospital, Children’s Miracle Network, WVAQ, WQZK and WBTQ will host the radiothon in the cafeteria of WVU’s Ruby Memorial Hospital and will be broadcasting live from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 17 and 18.
Radio personalities will tell stories about children who have benefited from services provided by WVU Children’s Hospital. Patients are also scheduled to visit the radiothon to share their stories on air. Last year’s radiothon raised more than $71,000 in support of WVU Children’s Hospital bringing the total raised to more than $1 million.
“Through the radiothon, the community can learn about the services we provide to children all over the state and region, including those in our own backyard here in the Morgantown area,” Cheryl Jones, R.N., director of WVU Children’s Hospital, said. “It helps them understand that if they should ever need us, we’re here to help.”
