The second annual Your Family's Health Radiothon, which raises money for the Doctor Noble Irwin Regional Health Care Foundation, is set to go on Country Music Radio, CKSW/CJSN, on September 17.

Last year's radiothon raised over $188,000 that was put towards the purchase of a digital mammography unit for the hospital.  The goal this year is to raise $200,000.

 

The radiothon will be broadcast live on September 17 from 5am to 5pm at the Swift Current Mall.
