18th Annual Watertown Radiothon For Kids Breaks Records!

The 18th Annual Watertown Radiothon For Kids was historic for two reasons: first, due to the generosity of listeners and sponsors of Alpha Media radio stations New Country KS93, KIXX 96.1 and 96.9 KDLO, over $115,000 was raised; second, we had to stop the radiothon on Friday at 3PM so everyone could get home safely due to the record-breaking blizzard that put Watertown under more than a foot of springtime snow.

All funds generated through this two-day event stay right here in South Dakota to pay for equipment, training and programs that will benefit the thousands of children treated at Sanford Children’s Hospital each year.

Special thanks to our sponsors for their continued support.  They include WinField United, First PREMIER Bank/PREMIER Bankcard, Fair City Foods, Taco John’s Watertown, Boyd-Wagner Agency, Sanford Watertown Clinic, Watertown Local 1724, Revillo Fire Department, Mobridge Inn & Guided Fishing, and Fishing4Miracles.
