iHeart Chicago Radiothon Raises Nearly Million for Streeterville's Lurie Children's HospitalBy Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Streeterville ·
Streeterville's Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital received an extraordinary holiday gift as iHeartMedia Chicago raised $925,831 during its annual Lurie Children's Radiothon on December 11. The fundraising effort, broadcast live across six radio stations including 93.9 Lite, Rock 95 Five, and 103.5 Kiss, collected vital donations for pediatric care and research throughout the Chicago community.
"The Lurie Children's Radiothon is more than an event – it's a celebration of hope and community," said iHeartMedia Chicago Region President Adam Kurtz. This marks the sixth year of the radiothon, which has now raised over $4.6 million in total for the nationally-ranked Streeterville medical center. The hospital, a cornerstone of the neighborhood, continues to provide world-class pediatric care while maintaining its status as Illinois' only freestanding hospital exclusively for children.
Residents and visitors to Streeterville can continue supporting Lurie Children's Hospital throughout the holiday season through various donation opportunities. The hospital's presence in the neighborhood not only provides critical healthcare services but also strengthens Streeterville's identity as home to some of Chicago's most important medical institutions.
