All Children’s Hospital Telethon Raises Nearly $4 Million

As it continues in its efforts to provide children with “healthy tomorrows,” some good news for the All Children’s Hospital comes as it was successful in raising close to $4 million during its annual find raising telethon to fund treatment, research, education and advocacy initiatives at the Hospital.

All totaled the 31st annual All Children’s Hospital telethon raised $3,926,121 over the course of an 11 ½ hour live broadcast on WFLA-TV News Channel 8, as well as through the taped broadcast on WXCW in the Ft. Myers/Naples area.



“As the most advanced children’s hospital on Florida’s West coast and a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, All Children’s Hospital is dedicated to providing quality care and improving the health of children,” said Jenine Rabin, All Children’s Hospital Foundation Executive Vice President.

“We could not impact so many young lives and provide our outstanding care for children without the help of those in the community. We are overwhelmed at the continued support of those in the Tampa Bay region.”

The telethon carried a theme of “Put your money where the miracles are.” To drive their point home, the telethon highlighted patient stories that showcase the cardiology, cancer, neurology and neonatal care services All Children’s Hospital provides as a regional referral center for specialized pediatric care.

The hospital telethon is part of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH), an alliance of premier hospitals for children and a non-profit organization dedicated to helping provide quality care for children. CMNH raises money for 170 children’s hospitals across North America through partnerships with their local TV stations.
