This year's event has contributed to a cumulative total of over $26 million in donations since the radiothon's inception in 2001.

We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love within our community. The generous donations raised will help change the lives of countless children, offering them and their families new hope and a brighter future."

The radiothon, which took place on February 13, featured 12 hours of live broadcasts from 6am to 6pm MT, was led by air personalities from "The BJ and Jamie Show" and "The Slacker Show." Broadcasted directly from Children's Hospital Colorado, the event shared moving personal stories from patients, their families, and front-line healthcare workers.
