“I started doing CMN radiothons 25 years ago and I’ve seen firsthand how these events unite your listeners, add depth to your brand and raise money for a local organization that impacts everyone in your community. A CMN Hospital Radiothon allows your personalities to grow through storytelling and introduces your listeners to the real heroes in your hometown. And the best part is that every penny you raise makes your community stronger by helping local kids and families.”
