Thank you! Thank you for donating to the Children's Miracle Network! With you generous donations CMN will be able to help out many families in the Texas Panhandle. So how much did the radiothon raise for CMN in its 2 days?
Last year a new program was started with CMN, it is called Beads of Courage. Every time a child comes into the hopspital for a stay, for treatment, they receive a bead. Each bead represents something different. Sadly, as beautiful as these strands of beads are, some of these kids Beads of Courage are feet long.
We are well under way with the second and final day of our CMN Celebration.
One thing we never really mention on the air during our broadcast is the CMN 'merch' that is available.
If you stop by BSA and head to the second floor, near the cafeteria, you will find some various t-shirts available to purchase. The
We are well under way with the second and final day of the 2013 CMN Celebration.
A lot of people ask us during Celebration, "How much money have you raised so far?" To be honest, we don't know until close to 7:00pm on Friday night, as we wrap up the broadcast.
One of the many wonderful things that CMN has purchased is a Surgery Doll. The surgery Doll is named Izzy. This doll is used to teach and show small children procedures that will be happening on their little bodies.
We have been celebrating CMN and here are some of the great families and the great fun we have been having! Donate to this wonderful cause.
Every year we set up camp at BSA for our Children's Miracle Network Celebration. It's two days that we devote to helping those Miracle Kiddos here in the Panhandle. Over the years we have met many families and heard many stories. Some inspiring, some heartbreaking and some that are ongoing. Three or so years ago, I met one of those kiddos that has become one of my best buddies.
We are in the middle of the best two days of the year, the Children's Miracle Network Celebration. The money raised for CMN in these next few days will stay local to help local kids. Donations go to help our kids and here is something amazing that donations to CMN created.
As you know the Children's Miracle Network Celebration Radiothon starts tomorrow. In 2008 I was helping one of our local TV stations with the CMN Telethon. As I stepped into the NICU I saw a girl that I went to high school with and she was in full NICU gowns and standing by the tiniest baby I have ever seen in person and that baby girl was Mylee.
