2024 Cure Kids Cancer Radiothon Raised $131,000!
The 2024 Cure Kids Cancer Radiothon, hosted by 94.9 Star Country, took place on Friday, August 9th. This annual fundraiser benefits Carilion Children’s Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Clinic and has, over the past fifteen years, raised more than $2.7 million to support pediatric cancer treatment in the Roanoke Valley. This year alone, the event raised an impressive $131,000.
The Radiothon raises essential funds and heightens awareness of the clinic's mission by sharing powerful patient testimonies that highlight the clinic's profound impact on the lives of children and their families. All donations directly support the clinic’s vital services, ensuring that young patients receive the necessary care.
In the past, funds have contributed to creating the clinic's library, which offers a diverse and inclusive selection of books for parents and children—many of which reflect the unique experiences of young patients. Additionally, donations help meet broader clinic needs, from staffing to essential resources, further enhancing the level of care provided.
Through the continued generosity of the community, the Cure Kids Cancer Radiothon plays a crucial role in supporting Carilion Children’s mission to offer hope and healing to families facing the challenges of pediatric cancer. The funds raised not only sustain the clinic’s operations but also bring comfort and encouragement to those who need it most, making a lasting difference in the lives of countless children.
