Greater Media's WKLB-FM Country 102.5/Boston was recently recognized for their ongoing support of Tufts Floating Hospital for Children. A new outside garden area for patients was officially opened and named in honor of the station.
The Country 102.5 Healing Garden is a unique and special outside space where pediatric patients and their families can escape their rooms and the "stuffiness" of the hospital and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Attached to the Ace's Place playroom, it will also give children the chance to explore flowers and gardens, even as they are hospitalized for treatment.
In the warmer months, country music artists will visit and perform at The Country 102.5 Healing Garden as part of the Country 102.5 Healing Tour. WKLB-FM has hosted many concerts at the Hard Rock and House of Blues over the past few years to raise money for the Healing Garden. A recent special show featuring Hunter Hayes raised $40,000.
"We are so proud and humbled to have the Healing Garden named after Country 102.5," said Mike Brophey, program director of WKLB-FM. "Our logo is on the door. Funds we helped raise were used to reconstruct and beautify the area for patients and their families to enjoy. It's a great moment for Greater Media and Country 102.5."
