Z99 hosts Cassity (left) and CC unveil the total raised during the 34th annual Z99 Radiothon. CC s longtime broadcast partner Lorie Lindsay co-hosted the 12-hour fundraiser from home. The two have recently announced their retirement.
The 34th annual Z99 Radiothon raised $416,938 for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation. The money will go to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the Regina General Hospital.
This was the last year the fundraiser would be hosted by the station’s CC and Lorie, who announced their retirement earlier this month.
“Year after year, the Radiothon is a remarkable success because of the unwavering commitment from the community of southern Saskatchewan and our on-air team of CC and Lorie,” says Tom Newton, vice-president and general manager, Rawlco Radio.
A Saskatchewan Health Authority board member has been in California since mid-November, according the authority, and the province's health minister is disheartened by the news.
