Welcome to the Eric & Kathy 36 Hour Radiothon web page!

Each year, Eric & Kathy bring you stories about children, parents, doctors, nurses and staff of Children’s Memorial Hospital in hopes of raising much needed funds for this life-saving institution.

We’ve developed this site to make it easy for you to support our efforts whether you make an online pledge, learn more about the hospital and some of its patients, share a story on our message board, watch the broadcast as it unfolds through our live web cam, or help make a difference with our new Change Maker program.

Eric & Kathy’s 36 Hour Radiothon has raised over 16 million dollars for kids and families treated at Children’s Memorial Hospital over the past nine years – money that stays right here in Chicago. The money raised during our Radiothon is directed to the areas of greatest need at Children’s Memorial such as Patient and Family Services, Charity Care, Education and Advocacy.

Please find a moment in your busy day Friday and Saturday September 10th and 11th to listen to the stories of some real life heroes and make a pledge to help Chicago’s kids.
