Superheroes 4 Kids
SPOKANE, Wash. In what has become a beloved summer tradition, 4 News Now will welcome Batman, Superman and other superhero friends as they wash the windows and bring smiles to kids at Providence Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital.
It’s a way to not only bring joy to patients and staff at the hospital, it’s way to raise awareness and money for Children’s Miracle Network. 4 News Now is grateful for the additional support for Superhero Day from Washington Trust Bank, which donated $5,000 to CMN this week.
Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital is one of 170 CMN hospitals nationwide. CMN works to provide care for kids and programs that aren’t typically covered by insurance. Donations made locally stay in the community to help local kids.
Yakima s annual Children s Miracle Network Radiothon is still a couple of months away but behind the scenes, work is underway. Part of that job is to interview the parents, family members, and sometimes the kids themselves who receive services at Children s Village, the Memorial Pediatrics Unit or, the Neonatal Intensive Care facility at Memorial.
Challenge Accepted
Over the years we have met some amazing people who when faced with crushing fear, disappointment, and an unknown future respond with incredible strength, patience, courage, perseverance, love, and faith. The resiliency of Central Washington s kids in dealing with life-threatening illnesses, crippling injuries, and life-long medical conditions is inspiring beyond words. It s been a privilege to get to know them, to help share their stories, and ultimately to help raise money to sustain the operation of Children s Village and the child-centered facilities at Memorial.

Ownership Group
For the Zimmer Radio & Marketing Group team, the annual Children’s Miracle Network radiothon is personal. Raising money and awareness for MU’s Children’s Hospital to help sick kids is the main reason “why we do the radiothon,” but this radiothon also happens because many staff members have needed this hospital for their own children at some point. As the self-proclaimed “crown jewel event for the company,” this radiothon showcases the
Hearst Television, Inc.
Within two weeks of the “stay at home order,” WISN knew they needed to find a way to feed the struggling members of their community. As people were being laid off, kids were also home from school without school lunches and there was limited food pantry access for the elderly due to the order. The team at WISN stepped up to the “plate” to help provide hunger relief. In partnership with the Hunger Task Force, WISN held two large fundraisers to feed their communities and help local businesses. With the April Milk Buyback and Thanksgiving Virtual Fundraisers, this local station raised more than $1 million for Hunger Task Force due to WISN 12’s efforts and partnership.
