Your Donation Makes a Difference

Supporting the Cat Country Cares for Kids Radiothon is more than making a financial contribution. It is giving local children and families hope during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Radiothon donations help provide services and resources such as:

Comforting Toys

A toy can bring comfort, distraction and a sense of normalcy to a child spending time in the hospital. Your donation helps provide toys that encourage smiles, creativity and hope.

Facility Dog Visits

A specially trained facility dog can provide comfort and emotional support to children during procedures, treatments and difficult hospital stays. A gift of $85 can help provide one full day of care and support from a facility dog.

Child Life Services

Certified Child Life Specialists help children understand medical procedures, manage fear and cope with pain, grief or anxiety. Your gift can help provide one-on-one support when a child needs it most.
