CMN Celebration 2012
Reflections…Someone Like You. It’s time to reflect, remember and celebrate during the 24th annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ television broadcast on June 2 and 3. This event is an opportunity to celebrate the life of children and recognize those who have so generously contributed throughout the year. The mission of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals is to improve the healthcare of children in north central Wisconsin and it takes a team of caring people to accomplish that mission ~ individuals, businesses, organizations, medical staff and volunteers. Please join us on Saturday, June 2, beginning at 10:30 p.m. as we feature local children. For 19 hours we will celebrate the lives that have been touched through the gifts given to Children’s Miracle Network, as well as recognize those who gave so generously during the 2011 campaign. Whether you come in person for the live broadcast at the Mother Frances Streitel Conference Center at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital, or tune in to WAOW TV-9, you will be amazed at the stories we will share. The televised event concludes at 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 3. Your hosts for the event include WAOW TV-9’s Melissa Langbehn and Bryon Graff. We will also be introducing TV-9’s Wake Up Wisconsin’s, Alex Haight, to the team. Y106.5’s Radiothon team again will be joining the broadcast on Sunday, sharing special reports about Children’s Miracle Network funded projects and programs. Pat, AJ and Ed will be on-hand accepting donations, sharing miracle stories and reporting live from the activities taking place in the courtyard at the Hospital’s Conference Center. Those activities will take place on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. and will include a petting zoo, inflatable rides, carnival games and great food. Please join us, we need someone like you!

2012 Radiothon
Get ready country fans, Y106.5 listeners and everyone who wants to help kids! The 2012 Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon will take place September 12, 13 & 14. The 2011 Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon was a record-breaking event. Y106.5’s Pat and AJ, along with Brad Austin, Eric Westphal and Ed Paulson hosted the three-day event. The Y106.5 listeners came through and pledged over $106,000 toward helping kids in north central Wisconsin through Children’s Miracle Network. Throughout the three day 10th annual event, hosts will share stories of courage and triumph at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Children’s Hospital of the brave children who face medical struggles each day. The driving force behind the event is to help meet the needs of these children and their families. From the tiniest infant born months too soon, to the teenager battling cancer, Children’s Miracle Network is there to help make a difference. The live broadcast, which will take place in the Mother Frances Streitel Conference Center at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital, features interviews of staff, children and families who have personally been helped by the outstanding medical care and equipment, provided in part by support from past Radiothon efforts. One hundred percent of the funds raised during the Radiothon will stay in the north central Wisconsin area to help meet the medical needs of local children.
