Cleveland Radio: WDOK's Rainbow Radiothon Raises $250K+

Entercom and WDOK helped to raise over $250,000 to benefit University Hospitals (UH) Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital during Star 102’s “2019 Rainbow Radiothon” in Cleveland. Funds donated during the annual event helped bring the station’s radiothon contributions to over $3.1 million since 2012.

“We’re proud to support UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital and its mission to make miracles happen for children and families every day,” said Tom Herschel, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Cleveland. “Our listeners and entire staff came together with the great team at the hospital to make this radiothon successful and I’m incredibly proud of everyone’s generosity.”

“2019 Rainbow Radiothon” was broadcast live from UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday, December 6.
