PHOENIX — Phoenix Children’s treated 280,000 patients last year. The hospital needs your help to continue its lifesaving work.
The 16th Annual Phoenix Children’s Give-A-Thon, presented by Your Valley Hyundai Dealers and Ak-Chin Indian Community, will take place August 12-16 on KTAR News and Arizona Sports.
The event will be broadcast on all programs at various times throughout the week before an in-person fundraiser takes place at the hospital on Friday from 2-6pm.
It airs daily from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. on KTAR News and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Arizona Sports.
Each program dedicates an hourly section to the hospital and its services.
“We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with KTAR and Arizona Sports,” said Steve Schnall, senior vice president and chief development officer of the Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation.
“These funds will greatly help the patients at Phoenix Children’s who need it most. Every donation counts and brings us closer to our goal.”
The hospital is looking for Champions of Hope to pledge $20 per month.
Those who do so will receive a teddy bear in their name delivered to a patient via the TRANE Teddy Bear Express. They will also receive a choice of a gift card to Papa John’s Pizza, Raising Cane’s or a child’s card to Wildlife World Zoo.
Call the Yrefy Phone Bank at 602-933-4567, text “GIVE” to 620620, or visit us here to donate and for more details.
The largest fundraiser for a radio hospital in the country, the campaign raised a record $2.15 million last year and has raised more than $22.4 million since 2009.
Despite hundreds of thousands of patients and visits, Phoenix Children’s continues to need help.
