THREE DAYS TO BECOME A MIRACLE MAKER FOR CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL COLORADO

Annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals radiothon on Alice 105.9 Kicks off February 15^th

Alice 105.9 is getting ready to once again kick off its annual three-day radiothon to benefit Children’s Hospital  Colorado. Alice’s 36 Hours for Kids, runs from February 15-17 and aims to raise more than one million dollars for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Last year, a record-breaking $1.65 million was raised, with one hundred percent of the funds staying in the community and going directly to Children’s Colorado.

One of the top radiothons in the nation, Alice’s 36 Hours for Kids is a three day, 36-hour live broadcast from the Boettcher Atrium at Children’s Colorado. For the eleventh year in a row, Alice 105.9 will break from its regular programming to focus on the children and families who have had personal experiences at Children’s Colorado. Interviews with past and present patients of the hospital and audio montages of children’s life-altering and inspirational stories are broadcast live, and listeners are encouraged to call in and make a donation to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals .

The live element of this event makes it very riveting and emotional. Through the course of the three days, hundreds of miraculous stories are shared leaving a lasting impression of how incredibly fortunate we are to have a hospital of the caliber of Children’s Colorado in the community.

Tune in to Alice 105.9FM or listen online at Alice1059.com to hear the heart-warming story of Addison and Bella, two young patients diagnosed with the same type of leukemia on subsequent days at Children’s Colorado and the incredible bond they share; or the courageous story of Gabbie McWilliams, who suffered a serious concussion after being hit in the head with a ball defending her team’s goal in a soccer game and now speaks out to educate other young athletes about concussion awareness; or the inspirational story of Emilie and Haylie, two sisters who share a heart condition and the same caregivers as their mother, who was treated at Children’s Colorado more than 25 years ago.
