Cares for Kids Radiothon sets new fundraising record

FARGO (KFGO) — Midwest Radio Fargo Moorhead stations raised a record number during the 26th annual Cares for Kids Radiothon.

Between January 29 and 30, the radiothon raised $228,673. That surpasses last year’s total of just over $226,000.

Froggy 99.9, Y94, 101.9 Jack FM, and KFGO hosted the fundraiser that benefits Sanford Children’s Hospital in Fargo.

The money will be used to support special programs, purchase life-saving medical equipment and education for Sanford Children’s Hospital. All funds raised help children from North Dakota and northwest Minnesota who receive care at Sanford Children’s.

“You never know when your family or someone you know may need the care of Sanford Children’s Hospital, so we encourage everyone to be a part of the story of helping local children,” said Hillery Mork, lead development officer for the Sanford Health Foundation. “Every dollar goes to help children who are dealing with serious illness or injury.”
