The Kans for Kids Radiothon is referred to as “the best day ever” and
the time has arrived to have the best day ever. The 12th annual radiothon
on Eagle Radio stations is Friday, March 31 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eagle’s Program
Director Shannon Towns said listeners will hear stories from children and families
that Kans for Kids has reached out to in their time of need.
"The radiothon this year is going to be a little different," said Towns. "There will be a lot of songs incorporated throughout the day. There will be inspirational songs and songs that lift you up. The day is all about bringing awareness to Kans for Kids and what it stands for."
Kans For Kids Fighting Cancer Foundation started in 1994 by giving back
financially to families with children living with cancer. All the pledges
throughout the day will benefit the nonprofit organization based in Hoisington.
"We're bringing some of the kids in over the noon hour to take over the radio stations," said Towns. "They'll get to play DJ for an hour, they'll pick the songs. You'll get to hear them just being kids...which will be nice."
The radiothon, presented by Comfort Pro, will air on all Eagle Radio stations,
1590 AM & 95.5 FM, 100.7 FM, 104.3 FM and 106.9 FM. To donate, call 620-588-HERO (620-588-4376) or visit kansforkids.org.
