Radio hosts Dan Stroud, Bill Reed, Patti Garrett, Tom Travis and Tracy Thomas will be asking for your support from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. November 7th, 8th, and 9th.
Listeners will be asked to pledge any amount of money they can to help support the efforts of Children's Miracle Network. Those who would like to send a gift to a child in the hospital can become a KXY Loves Kids Member for $15.00 per month. Each gift is labeled with the donor's name.
During the live on air auction listeners can bid on autographed memorabilia from celebrities. Auction items this year will include Resistol Cowboy Hats autographed by country music singer Ty England and world champion bull rider Tuff Hedeman, two basketballs signed by Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets and University of Oklahoma memorabilia signed by Coach Bob Stoops.
Children's Miracle Network has a group of young children dedicated to speaking and raising awareness about the importance of research, education and fundraising efforts in the State of Oklahoma. They are called "miracle children" because they represent the true inspiration behind our endeavors to create the best care for children in Oklahoma. Miracle Children Grayson, Alli, Sarah, Jayse, Jesse and Anna Marie will each discuss their unique and miraculous stories during on air interviews.
Doctors with the endowed chair programs funded by Children's Medical Research Institute will also speak on air. Dr. William Meyer, CMRI Ben Johnson Chair in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Dr. Terrence Stull, CMRI Patricia Price Browne Distinguished Chair in Pediatrics are CMRI doctors committed to creating one of the best children's hospitals nationwide with the help of funds raised through Children's Miracle Network and in conjunction with Children's Hospital administrator, Chuck Spicer.
