Greenville, N.C. – Radio listeners in eastern North Carolina have an opportunity to make a life-changing difference for hospitalized children during the 28th annual “Music for Miracles” radiothon. This two-day event will take place March 27-28 on 107.9 WNCT, along with Inner Banks Media’s other stations: Talk 96.3 and 103.7, Oldies 94.1 and 102.7, and 94.3 The Game. The funds raised through the radiothon will support the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital at ECU Health Medical Center, which serves pediatric inpatient and outpatient needs across a 29-county region in eastern North Carolina.
“The Radiothon stands out as one of our most significant annual events, and we are incredibly thankful for the unwavering commitment of the team at 107.9 WNCT and Inner Banks Media,” said Elise Ironmonger, director of programs, ECU Health Foundation.
“Broadcasting live for 12 hours over two consecutive days is no small feat, and it’s supported by extensive preparation and behind-the-scenes efforts. This event wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration of hospital leaders, team members, and, most importantly, the brave miracle children and their families who share their heartfelt stories. We encourage everyone to tune in and be inspired by the incredible impact taking place every day at Maynard Children’s Hospital.”
Since its inception in 1998, the event has raised over $3.9 million, all of which goes directly to enhancing the programs and services of Maynard Children’s Hospital. These funds help purchase life-saving medical equipment, support patient and team member education, provide diversionary items to comfort children and normalize the hospital experience and contribute to building new state-of-the-art facilities.
“Once again, we are thrilled to have the radiothon on all our IBX Media stations to raise funds for James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital. It’s the highlight of our year to support the children’s hospital,” said Henry Hinton, president, Inner Banks Media. “I’ve personally had a grandson who needed care there, and it is a true blessing for all of eastern North Carolina to have it here. We’re looking forward to two exciting days and hope everyone will participate as they are able.”
Listeners can tune in to 107.9 WNCT to enjoy 12 hours of live broadcasts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both March 27 and 28, with additional segments airing intermittently across other Inner Banks Media stations. To support this vital cause, please call 1-800-673-5437 or visit www.GiveToCMN.com.
