MILWAUKEE (5/27/2008) - Thanks to the generosity of 96.5 FM WKLH listeners, the Dave & Carole Miracle Marathon raised more than $1.3 million for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in just three days, May 21-23. Now in its eleventh year, the Miracle Marathon is the largest annual fundraiser for Children's Hospital.
For the 60-hour event, WKLH's morning team of Dave Luczak and Carole Caine broadcast live from Children's Hospital. Dave and Carole connected with patients and families to share their stories at Children's Hospital.
Donations still can be made at www.wklh.com.
Children's Hospital is growing UP!
Children's Hospital is expanding to meet the needs of our community. Last year, children made 290,000 visits for inpatient or outpatient care at the hospital or Children's Urgent Care. In response to rapid growth, Children's Hospital is building a 12-story, 425,000-square-foot expansion that will open in spring of 2009. The west tower will increase the 236-bed hospital, located on the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center campus in Wauwatosa, to 294 beds and will have room for 72 more beds in the future. The state-of-the-art facility also will include a larger Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and an expanded Herma Heart Center to provide better care to children with congenital and other cardiac issues. Each floor will feature private rooms that achieve national standards for family privacy and to control infections. Learn more at thisismychildrens.org.
