LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Radio stations in Louisville raised nearly $88,000 for Norton Children's Hospital.
99.7 DJX and B96.5, Magic 101.3 and 102.3 The Rose held the 16th annual Norton Children's Hospital Radiothon. The event raised $87,483, according to a news release.
The event included a 24-hour broadcast anchored by radio personalities Ben & Kelly as patients and families shared stories about the hospital. Listeners were invited to donate.
"For the past 16 years, we’ve been so grateful to everyone for making Radiothon a success," Ben Davis, co-host of the Ben Davis and Kelly K Show on 99.7 DJX, said in a news release. "99.7 DJX is so happy to be part of a community that truly cares about the health and well-being of all kids."
"Norton Children’s serves over 210,000 kids," co-host Kelly K said in a news release. "We had 283 kids currently in the hospital. So, we wanted to make sure that they knew they had a village of people behind them supporting them from the community."
The radiothon will help the hospital purchase new technology and equipment, expand patient care and develop life-saving research, according to a news release.
