Celebrating 27 Years of Miracles: Music for Miracles Radiothon is another success for the sick and injured children in eastern North Carolina

Listeners from all over the east phoned in their support for children and raised $109,703 during the 27th annual “Music for Miracles” radiothon on 107.9 WNCT and all the Inner Banks Media stations.

These generous donations bring the all-time giving for the event to more than $3.9 million. One hundred percent of the funds raised through Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospital events such as this, directly support programs and services at the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital at ECU Health Medical Center.

This year’s radiothon included all of the Inner Banks Media radio stations. In addition to 107.9, these include: Talk 96.3 and 103.7; Oldies 94.1 and 102.7; and 94.3 The Game.

“We are thrilled to have once again been a partner with CMN and ECU Health Medical Center. Doing two days of broadcasts gave us an opportunity to interact with the doctors, staff, and most importantly the kids who are served there,” said Henry Hinton, president, Inner Banks Media. “It is one of the highlights of our year in terms of our public service efforts. As is often the case when you do something like this, we were the ones who were blessed to have been part of it.”

“Every year I am absolutely blown away by the incredible generosity of this community. Their dedication to improving healthcare for the children in eastern North Carolina is inspiring. I’m also grateful to the families who join us to share their stories. Those children are true miracles and it’s an honor to highlight the care they received at Maynard Children’s Hospital,” said Elise Ironmonger, director of programs, Maynard Children’s Hospital.

Children’s Miracle Network is a fundraising program of the ECU Health Foundation. Maynard Children’s Hospital in Greenville serves children and their families living throughout a 29-county region in eastern North Carolina.
