The two-day Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon has raised $888,961.34 to help children who come through the doors of the hospital. President and CEO of the JPCH Foundation, Brynn Boback-Lane says the phones will remain open Wednesday night. These funds help support lifesaving equipment and critical programming at the province’s only dedicated maternal and children’s hospital. More specifically, the money is to enhance pediatric trauma care, improve epilepsy services and increase capacity in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Twenty-five radio stations from across the province came together to support this effort, including CJWW. Since the very first Radiothon 19 years ago, including today’s total, over $14.8-million has been raised.
