The Season of Hope kicks off October 29 and culminates with the 30th annual Radiothon on MIX 101.5 is December 10-11, 2024!
Give hope to kids that need it!
The Season of Hope marks the most critical fundraising period of the year for Duke Children's. Starting at the end of October and culminating with the 30th annual Season of Hope Radiothon on MIX 101.5, this is the time of year when compassionate individuals from around the Triangle come together to support Duke Children's with a donation. This generous support is critical to advancing our mission of giving hope and healing to our patients and families.
We invite our compassionate community of supporters to make a Season of Hope donation that honors Bella's bravery, spirit, and joy. And, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 by our generous friends, the Harrison Family. DOUBLE your gift, DOUBLE the hope!
Become a Hero for Hope!
Every new donor who joins our monthly sustainer program during the Season of Hope provides hope to children. In honor of the 30th anniversary of Radiothon, we invite you to celebrate hope all year long by becoming a Hero for Hope with a monthly ongoing $30 gift to Duke Children's!
Your monthly gift means lasting impact. Set up an ongoing recurring credit card payment for any dollar amount. Your recurring gift will provide sustaining and foundational revenue that will help our patients every day.
All new Heroes for Hope who join at $30 a month OR current Heroes for Hope who upgrade their giving to $30 a month will get our special Radiothon 30th anniversary shirt!
