2006: Radiothon Archive
2006 RADIOTHON -- The 2006 Radiothon broadcasted live from the lobby of Strong Memorial Hospital on Thursday, February 16 and Friday, February 17. The fun continued from Eastview Mall on Saturday, February 18 and Sunday, February 19.
Raising a total of $222,751 –an increase of $23,000 over last year’s event-- this year's event was chocked-full of fun. Special thanks to all who participated, including families who shared their stories, our valiant Change Rangers, our dedicated sponsors, and the thousands of individuals and businesses who gave so generously to make this year’s event a stand-out success!

| Pizzeria Uno's gave $1,740 to the hospital (even more than appears on their check!). They “raised dough” by donating a portion of the sales in each of their four locations. |
Tim Hortons kicked-off their Smile cookie promotion and wowed everyone with a donation of $4,987. Eating sweets for a good cause, what a perfect idea. |
