K99.1FM Hosts Concert for a Cause, Announces 2023 Radiothon Dates
K99.1FM, a member of Cox Media Group Ohio, has been supporting Dayton Children’s Hospital for more than 25 years, raising close to 5.75M dollars over that time span.
The radio station continued its legacy of giving back to the children of our community this month by hosting its first Concert for a Cause of the year and donating the proceeds to Dayton Children’s. On Wednesday, May 17, K99.1FM hosts Nancy Wilson and Nikki Montgomery emceed an intimate concert featuring country stars Dylan Scott, Kylie Morgan and George Birge. Milano’s Pizza, Subs & Taps hosted the event at their Miami Township location, with an audience of about 100 people.
Thanks to the generosity of all involved, the team presented a check for $20,000 to hospital representatives to support specialized pediatric medical and mental health care for kids in our local community.
In addition, Cox Media announced the dates of the 26th annual K99.1FM Cares for Kids Radiothon, which will be held October 25-27, 2023. New Country Mornings hosts Nancy and Woody will broadcast live for twelve hours a day for three days in a row, interviewing patients and families who have experienced above-and-beyond care at Dayton Children’s, and encouraging listeners to call in with a donation to the hospital.
“We could not be more grateful for our long-lasting partnership with Cox Media Group and K99.1FM,” says Jena Pado, vice president and chief development officer for Dayton Children’s Hospital. “Not only do Nancy and Woody, and the rest of their team dedicate their time, passion and talent to supporting our hospital, but they inspire their listeners and the whole community to join with them in ensuring the highest level of care to local kids.”
In 2022, Radiothon raised $331,070 that supported the purchase of new technology and equipment so that sick and injured kids have access to the very best, most innovative care available.
