Join Us for Give-A-Thon Week

The 2022 event will feature radio personalities, patient stories and donation opportunities to champion hope

During the week of August 15 – 19, 2022, the KTAR News & Arizona’s Sports Give-A-Thon benefiting Phoenix Children’s returns. This year marks Phoenix Children’s 22^nd annual radiothon event, and we look forward to another successful year. 

Tune in to KTAR News 92.3 FM, 98.7 FM Arizona Sport’s Station, KTAR.com or arizonasports.com to meet some of our patients and their families, hear their compelling stories, and learn how to become a Champion for Hope to sick and injured children in Arizona and beyond.  

It costs nearly $2.7 million per day to operate Phoenix Children’s. Patients are accepted regardless of their ability to pay, and about 50% of patient families have little or no private medical insurance. Without the help of our amazing donors and partners, we could not provide the critical life-saving care Phoenix Children’s is renowned for. 

Last year’s Give-A-Thon event raised $1.8 million, which went directly to our Hope Fund. Every dollar raised impacts the delivery of expert, family-centered care for more than 200,000 patients each year. Our goal this year is $2 million, which we know is achievable through the spirit of our community and the help of our donors.  

On behalf of Phoenix Children’s, we hope you will join us and make this year’s Give-A-Thon another amazing success.

Meet Our Patients

Lukas

A family vacation to Disneyland turned into a terrifying ordeal for Lukas’ family when his parents noticed his extremities had started to swell and turn purple. Learn about Lukas’ battle against a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder and how he earned the nickname “The Overcomer.”

Stella

Surgery to remove a tumor from Stella’s brain stem left her unable to talk. But her face would light up every time Yankee the therapy dog visited. Hear how Phoenix Children’s Animal-Assisted Therapy Program helped Stella heal from surgery and learn to talk again.

Chase

At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a 15-year-old’s simple cough was a sign of a much worse prognosis. Chase was admitted to Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and found himself in a battle no teenager should have to face. Learn about his triumphant recovery and return to competitive golf.
