Call (865) 656-KIDS to help Children's Hospital
People from throughout East Tennessee are invited to help make a difference in the lives of countless area children by supporting the 11th annual Star 102.1 Radiothon for East Tennessee Children's Hospital at West Town Mall in Knoxville Thursday and Friday, April 26-27. Star 102.1 morning personalities Marc & Kim and Frank will broadcast live from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days.
The Radiothon will feature compelling interviews with Children's Hospital patients and their families, while Marc & Kim and Frank will encourage listeners to "tune in for children" and make a personal pledge to help Children's Hospital. Listeners also will be encouraged to come by West Town Mall to experience Radiothon firsthand, make a donation and share their own stories about children they know who have been helped by Children's Hospital.
Children's Hospital is here to help children from across the street or from throughout the region, and every child is helped regardless of their family's ability to pay. All funds raised from the Star 102.1 Radiothon will be used in ways that directly affect the children served by Children's Hospital through programs including
Home Health Care.
For more information, contact the Children's Hospital Development Department at (865) 541-8441.
Krispy Kreme is turning its Dippin’ Doughnut Station into the Dippin’ Donation Station to help Children’s Hospital and increase donations to the Star 102.1 Radiothon.
This doughnut station allows kids of all ages to decorate their own doughnut, then instead of paying for the tasty treat, Krispy Kreme asks that each doughnut dipper contribute whatever they can to Children’s Hospital. The doughnut fun will take place midday during the Star 102.1 Radiothon at West Town Mall on April26-27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Children's Hospital would like to extend a thank you to our many Radiothon sponsors and supporters:
