Hubbard Radio's WTMX (101.9fm The Mix)/Chicago just raised $1,403,229.61 for the Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago during its 15th Annual Eric & Kathy Radiothon. With some high profile celebrity help from Chicago Blackhawks players Andrew Shaw and Marcus Kruger and actress/RCA recording artist Hilary Duff, the astounding amount of money generated at Eric & Kathy’s Radiothon has now raised their grand total to over $26 million generated for Lurie Children's since its inception in 2000.
$26 Million. That's an incredible number. I've been part of radiothons before, with some equally high-profile shows. We've raised money for dozens of charities, but the numbers were nowhere near this. This is an incredible achievement, and Eric and Kathy (and their staff) should be commended.
