What began as a simple fundraiser over 20 years ago has grown into a province-wide, signature event – one that, this year, helped to ensure children across Saskatchewan receive the best possible care when it comes to hearing.
The two-day 2025 Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon presented by CIBC Wood Gundy wrapped up Thursday afternoon after raising a total of $1,119,195.
Radio stations across the province participated in the annual event, while patients, their families and medical staff helped spread the word by sharing stories during the broadcast that provided a glimpse into life within the walls of the children’s hospital.
Among the donors were the Saskatchewan Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children, which contributed $50,000. Capital Automotive Group also announced a $25,000 gift during the radiothon. Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation donated $10,000. All of the funds raised through businesses, organizations and individuals will be matched by the David and Karen Holst Family Foundation up to $200,000.
