Radiothon

Broadcasting for Healthcare Heroes

CKNX holds an annual Radiothon with local, participating hospital foundations, where listeners can call in and donate to the hospital of their choice. Mark this event on your calendar and give back to your community!

 
 

You’ve Helped us Surpass our Goals

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the 2025 CKNX Healthcare Heroes Radiothon was a tremendous success! We’re proud to share that we reached our fundraising goal, helping us move one step closer to enhancing patient care at Listowel Memorial Hospital.

Your support—whether through donations, sharing the message, or tuning in—made this achievement possible. From all of us at the Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation, thank you for standing with us and investing in the health of our community.

Support for Local Hospital Foundations

Each year, several local hospital foundations take part in this great cause. In past years, CKNX AM 920 has broadcast the entire Radiothon event while 101.7 The One and Cool 94.5 broadcast intermittently throughout the day. Listeners can phone in and donate to any hospital foundation they choose. It’s a fantastic way to make a contribution to the healthcare community you and your loved ones rely on.
