Inland Empire radio stations the Mix 101.3 and Hot 103.9 are dedicating the airwaves to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital on Friday, Sept. 15, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a radiothon and online auction. Listeners can tune in on the radio or stream online at 1013themix.com or hot1039.com throughout the day to make a pledge or participate in a silent auction.
Each $100 donation will sponsor a cuddly monkey or fox plush that will go into the arms of a child at LLU Children’s Hospital.
Both stations will be broadcasting live — The Mix at 1909 Restaurant in Temecula and Hot 103.9 FM at Punch Bowl Social in Rancho Cucamonga. Both restaurants will be donating 10 percent of proceeds during the radiothon to Children’s Hospital.
Funds raised during the radiothon and auction will support Vision 2020 – The Campaign for a Whole Tomorrow.
Inspirational patient testimonies will be shared throughout the day as well as updates on Vision 2020 and the construction of the new hospital tower.
Kim Martinez, vice president/general manager of All Pro Broadcasting Southern California, said the stations are honored to participate and contribute to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital fundraising efforts.
“Our entire staff is very passionate and enthusiastic about this worthy cause,” she said. “If we can help even one precious child, we shall hold our heads up high and embrace the moment.”
