2011 CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK RADIOTHON
Get ready country fans, Y106.5 listeners and everyone who wants to help kids! The 2011 Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon will take place September 7, 8 & 9. The 2010 Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon had a new look and feel. WYTE is now referred to as Y106.5 and hosts included all of the day-time radio voices. Pat and AJ, along with Brad Austin, Eric Westphal and Ed Paulson hosted the three-day event. The one thing that remained the same – the Y106.5 listeners came through and pledged $83,056 toward helping kids in north central Wisconsin through Children’s Miracle Network. Throughout the three day 9th annual event, hosts will share stories of courage and triumph at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Children’s Hospital of the brave children who face medical struggles each day. The driving force behind the event is to help meet the needs of these children and their families. From the tiniest infant born months too soon, to the teenager battling cancer, Children’s Miracle Network is there to help make a difference. The live broadcast, which will take place in the Mother Frances Streitel Conference Center at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital, features interviews of staff, children and families who have personally been helped by the outstanding medical care and equipment, provided in part by support from past Radiothon efforts. One hundred percent of the funds raised during the Radiothon will stay in the north central Wisconsin area to help meet the medical needs of local children.

CMN Celebration 2011
One Call ~ One Miracle! The 23rd annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals television broadcast will take place on June 4 & 5. This event is an opportunity to celebrate the life of children and recognize those who have so generously contributed throughout the year. The mission of Children’s Miracle Network is to improve the healthcare of children in north central Wisconsin and it takes a team of caring people to accomplish that mission ~ individuals, businesses, organizations, medical staff and volunteers. For 19 hours we will celebrate the lives that have been touched through the gifts given to Children’s Miracle Network. Beginning at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, our miracle children and their families will share their stories of courage and determination, as well as their gratefulness for the support of Children’s Miracle Network. The televised event will conclude at 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 5 with a turn of the numbers to reveal a grand total of funds raised. Hosts for the televised event will include WAOW TV-9’s Melissa Langbehn, Pam Warnke and Bryon Graff. Staff from Y106.5 will be joining the team on Sunday, sharing special reports about Children’s Miracle Network funded projects and programs, accepting donations, sharing miracle stories and reporting live from the activities taking place in the courtyard at the Hospital’s Conference Center. Those activities will take place on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. and will include a petting zoo, inflatable rides and carnival games. Please join us or call your pledge at 1.800.428.5000 ~ it just takes one call to make one miracle!
