The Jim Pattison Children’s Radiothon is on air on 25 radio stations across the province today and tomorrow, including Saskatoon Media Group’s CJWW. The goal is to raise funds for lifesaving equipment and critical programming at Saskatchewan’s only dedicated children’s hospital.

Gord and Barb Broda from Prince Albert are long-time philanthropists and they have dedicated themselves to match all donations up to $150,000.

Barb Broda says, “We know that a sick child touches every single one of us. No one in Saskatchewan is immune. If you donate today, that means that you are personally going to help save a Saskatchewan child and that’s huge.”

Funds raised this year will go towards enhancing provincial pediatric trauma care, improving epilepsy services and increasing capacity in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Since the very first Radiothon 19 years ago, more than $13.94 million has been raised for Saskatchewan moms-to-be and kids in hospital
