New Country 96.3 KSCS, a Cumulus Media radio station, raised $175,670 for Cook Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, during its 5th Annual KSCS Cook Children’s Radiothon which took place Saturday, December 1, 2018.

At the conclusion of the broadcast, more than $173,000 was raised, but the phones were still ringing with listeners donating almost an additional $2,000. This brings the total KSCS has raised for Cook Children’s in the five years of this event to more than $1,090,000.

The 96.3 KSCS air staff broadcast live from 6:00am until 7:00pm at North East Mall in Hurst, Texas. Mark “Hawkeye” Louis, Al Farb and Michelle Rodriguez were all live on-air together for the entire event, bringing stories of the patients, families and Cook Children’s staff to KSCS listeners, who did not hold back and responded with their own personal stories about Cook Children’s and generous donations.

Money raised through Radiothon will be used to fund the areas where the need is greatest at Cook Children’s. This includes, but is not limited to, the daily care of patients and their families, enhancement of programs, and investing in innovative equipment that is up-to-date with the latest advances in medicine and technology.

KSCS Cook Children’s Radiothon was co-presented by EECU Credit Union and Albertsons/Tom Thumb.
