We're already looking forward to the month of March, because we'll have two chances to support a truly worthy cause: Arkansas Children's Hospital! The state's only pediatric medical center has touched the lives of countless central Arkansas families, and you can help them make an even bigger difference for sick children this month. Here are two ways you can donate:

1) 12th Annual Champions for Children Radiothon

This Thursday and Friday, tune into B 98.5, Alice 107.7, Power 92, KOKY, the Praise Network or News Radio KARN 102.9 FM to listen to stories of care, love and hope from patients and caregivers at the hospital. Cumulus Radio DJs, B98’s Lisa Fischer, Chris Cannon, Jennifer Christmas, Becky Rogers and Alice 107.7’s Heather and Pool Boy and Kevin Miller will broadcast live from the ACH lobby from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. March 3-4.

When you call in and make a pledge to the hospital, your money will go toward the Patient Care Fund at ACH. This fund is overseen by a committee of physicians and administrators who designate funds to the patient care areas of the hospital with the greatest need. The committee may choose to fund a piece of equipment, service or other project within the hospital that advances the care of children.

Donate now at Giving.ARChildrens.org or call in your pledge to (501) 907-5437 on March 3 & 4!
