Donate Joy: How the Country Cares for Kids Radiothon is Changing Lives at UC Davis Children's Hospital!

The holiday season is upon us, and while many are busy shopping for gifts, the Country Cares for Kids Radiothon at UC Davis Children’s Hospital invites everyone to make an unforgettable gift: the gift of joy. This first-ever radiothon, hosted by KNCI 105.1 FM in partnership with the Children’s Miracle Network, is a heartwarming endeavor focused on supporting sick children and their families.

For families dealing with health challenges, the holidays can often feel daunting—this is where the radiothon steps in. By tuning in, listeners can contribute directly to programs like therapy dogs and child life activities that make hospital stays a little brighter. With every donation, no matter how small, you’re helping bring smiles and hope to those who need it most.

UC Davis Children’s Hospital is notable for being the only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in the region, treating patients from 33 counties. This importance amplifies the need for community support during the holidays. So, whether you’re able to give a dollar or more, you’re joining a collective effort to fill these young patients’ days with some holiday cheer. After all, isn’t a little joy what the season is all about?

And remember, giving doesn’t just change the lives of those in need; it might just warm your heart, too, like a holiday sweater—minus the itchiness!
