KISS Country Kids Radiothon 2022

This year we held the 24th annual KISS Country for Kids Radiothon beginning Thursday, September 8! The team was eager to share, with listeners everywhere, the powerful stories about miracle families treated at Valley Children’s Hospital. We encouraged the public to tune in to 93.7kisscountry and donate by calling 1-877-353-0000, or texting “George” to 20222. 

On Thursday, September 8, day one, we went live from the phone bank with our dedicated volunteers from various local organizations. The calls soon began to come in with generous donors willing to make a positive impact in the lives of the children we serve.

The afternoon of Thursday, September 8, saw volunteers from varying companies working the phone bank with a great deal of cheer. They informed callers of our various donation incentives. Callers who donated a minimum of $70 would get a George the Giraffe plushy to celebrate our 70-year anniversary. Also, for $20/month for a year or a $240 minimum donation, donors would receive a free Miracle Maker t-shirt and a George the Giraffe plushy. Lastly, a $1500 donation would earn donors their name engraved on a gold plate on an awesome red wagon. Our precious patients enjoy these wagons for transportation around the hospital.  

Friday, September 9, day two: had a lot of exciting activity! During three donation-match hours donors really made a significant impact! In the final hour of the Radiothon, we had two donor calls match the last of the $800 from our local sponsor! The community rallied behind our event to make miracles happen for our children of the Central Valley.

A sincere thank you- we are grateful for all those who participated, including our sponsors, volunteers, food donors and many others who made this event possible. A huge thank you!

The final dollars were counted! The KISS Country for Kids Radiothon raised $90,576 for Valley Children’s Hospital! Thank you, Central Valley, for your support. Every dollar raised will benefit the children and families that walk through our doors every day.
