MONTREAL – Astral Media raised more than $7 million in its one-day ‘radiothon’ last Thursday in support of 20 children’s hospitals and health care facilities.
More than 50 radio stations in 28 cities across Canada took part in the Astral Media National Day of Caring for Kids Radiothon on April 30. Radio hosts from participating stations broadcast live from partner hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the day, and in many cities, worked closely with Children’s Miracle Network, an international non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of kids through fundraising.
“I am truly amazed by the unprecedented demonstration of generosity from our listeners across the entire country and I wish to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who tuned in and gave to assist children in need of medical care,” said Jacques Parisien, group president of Astral Media Radio and Outdoor, in a statement.
