A RECORD-SETTING RADIOTHON: Upstate Foundation staff members celebrate with the talented team at CNYCentral and iHeartMedia (Newsradio 570WSYR and Y94) for a record-setting radiothon, initially raising $246,575 to benefit a variety of funds and programs that directly impact Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital services and patients. The two-day radiothon, which was broadcast live from the hospital lobby, featured interviews with doctors, nurses, child life experts and patients and families. Donations continue to come in after the Radiothon broadcast ended, bringing the total amount raised to $249,602.
