Last year's Radiothon

 

The "Your Family's Health Radiothon" is back for a third year on Country Music Radio.

The 28-hour fundraiser for the Dr. Noble Irwin Regional Healthcare Foundation will be broadcast live from the lobby of the Cypress Regional Hospital in Swift Current.

Clay Thompson, the Executive Director for the Foundation, says they are looking for the support from the southwest once again. He adds the first two radiothons have raised a total of about $230,000, including the $188,000 raised in the first-ever radiothon in 2009 for the hospital's Digital Mammography Unit, and says they hope to hit a $350,000 total after this third radiothon.

 

Thompson says, for the 2009 Radiothon, they counted up 58 postal codes in the Cypress Health Region and received donations from 56 of the 58 postal codes.

 

The Radiothon will start at 1:00pm on September 22, and run until 5:00pm the next day.
