Hot 103.5 and The Wolf broadcasted live from the new Children’s Surgery Center at UC Davis Children’s Hospital druing one day of the Radiothon. Combined, the two English stations raised $42,682 and the Spanish stations generated $127,622, making Sacramento the #3 top fundraising Spanish market in the nation for this CMN event behind Los Angeles and Denver.

“We appreciate the partnership with Entravision and their dedication to raising funds for UC Davis Children’s Hospital,” said Michelle Thompson, associate director of Children’s Miracle Network at UC Davis. “Patients and their families shared their stories and celebrated the lifesaving care they received. These stories would not have been possible without the generous support of donors and partners like Entravision.”
