947 KUMU’s 3rd Annual “Drive for Wishes” radiothon raised over $60,350 for Make-A-Wish Hawaii. In partnership with the local ABC affiliate, the 13-hour radiothon included interviews with local “Wish” children and their families, a live phone bank, and incentives to encourage monetary donations to fund wishes for kids with life-threatening medical conditions. Pictured here are the 947 KUMU morning show, Devon & Mandy with Make-A-Wish Hawaii President & CEO, Siana Austin Hunt (in pink).
Make-A-Wish Hawaii grants the wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses throughout the state of Hawaii. With the help of donations from the radiothon, this summer five wishes will be granted for local Wish kids.
