On Thursday, November 19, 104.3 WOMC will host its third annual Radiothon to raise funds for children treated at Beaumont Children’s. A Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals event, the Radiothon will broadcast live from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Anchoring the production will be 104.3 WOMC personalities JoAnne Purtan, Jim Johnson, Beau Daniels and Aricka McCauly.
Each year, the CMN Radiothon highlights the stories of local patients and families treated at Beaumont Children’s. These stories will include children like Lexi who manages her Type 1 diabetes diagnosis every day, Desmond who learned to walk again after a tumor was removed from his spinal cord and Braylen who found his voice after intensive speech therapy.
Radiothon listeners can become a Miracle Maker with a $20 monthly donation. This donation can be made automatically by credit card or through a monthly invoice to pay by check. For the same cost as a few cups of coffee, listeners can help save a child’s life by calling 877-335-KIDS (5437) or by texting WOMCKIDS to 51555. For more information, visit Beaumont.org/radiothon.
