Join us for the 32nd Annual Season of Hope Radiothon!
Each year, the Season of Hope Radiothon shines a spotlight on the life-changing care provided at Duke Children’s. The event's signature MIX 101.5 broadcast features patients, families, and providers sharing heartfelt stories of resilience, hope, and healing, showcasing the world-class, compassionate care made possible through donor support.
Over $21M raised for the kids at Duke Children’s over the past 32 years. And you make it possible!
Become a Hero for Hope!
Every new donor who joins our monthly sustainer program during the Season of Hope provides hope to children. We invite you to give hope all year long by becoming a Hero for Hope with a monthly ongoing 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.
Make an Impact!
During certain hours of the MIX 101.5 broadcast, all funds raised will be directed towards specific areas of impact at Duke Children’s. These impact hours will provide funding for tangible needs to support patients and their families, as well as provide tools for clinical teams to provide the best care possible.
