Since 2002, with the help of our listeners, Y105 has raised almost a MILLION dollars through various events and fundraisers for the Children's Miracle Network and the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.  This includes our annual Radiothon event.

This year we're hosting our live event Wednesday and Thursday, September 18th and 19th from our Y105 studios in Asbury.

During Radiothon, we tell stories from local families affected by these two great organizations, talk to hospital staff members and other folks and businesses who proudly support them.

The hospital and it's services are vital to our listeners.  Whether you or someone you love has been treated there, everyone at one time or another has encountered the phrase "Iowa City."

All the money you donate through our Radiothon event goes right where you want it to go... to the kids who desperately need it!  Through services, equipment and research that's not funded by insurance.
