You helped raise $26,000 for kids at the Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital

MACON, Ga. — Last Wednesday, we asked you to help us with a special task for the holiday season.

Along with some of Central Georgia's radio stations, we asked you to help raise money for the Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital in Macon through the "Cares for Kids Mediathon."

The children's hospital is the only dedicated children's hospital between Atlanta, Georgia and Gainesville, Florida.

It's a non-profit, so they don’t turn any child away regardless of a family’s ability to pay. The hospital expects the number of patients they see to grow with their new facility.

You guys raised $26,000 through the Mediathon for the hospital and the children they treat.

100% of those funds will go directly towards the hospital's programs, services, and equipment. 

Thank you so much for donating!
