The Annual CKNX Health Care Heroes Radiothon has raised more than four million dollars over its seven year history for 15 local hospitals in Bruce, Grey, Huron, Perth and Wellington Counties.
The Radiothon was broadcast on CKNX AM 920, 101.7 The One and simulcast on 94.5 The Bull on Saturday October 18th. The annual Radiothon gives hospital Foundations the opportunity to raise money for much needed medical equipment.
In another record setting year, the Radiothon has collectively generated over $703,000.00 for the 15 participating Foundations. All funds raised through the Family Fun Day Event that was held at the Flesherton Arena, Kinplex & Pavilion will go towards the new C-Arm X-ray machine for Centre Grey Hospital.
We are pleased to report that in another record setting year, the Radiothon has collectively generated over $806,000 for the 15 participating Foundations. Final totals are in and we are pleased to report that Centre Grey Health Services Foundation fundraised over $21,097.12 through their 2008 Radiothon event.
All funds raised will go towards the new C-Arm X-ray machine for Centre Grey Hospital n Markdale. Thank you to everyone for the outstanding support!
