93.3 FM La Raza #1 Single Hispanic Radio Station of the Year!
On December 7 and 8 2018, 93.3 La Raza held its 10th Annual Radiothon benefiting UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. Not only was this their tenth year fundraising for our hospitals but it was their best year yet! Breaking 2017 fundraising totals, the station raised over $460,000 during the 2-day event!
During the broadcast on Friday out of Chavez Supermarket in Hayward, listeners came from all across the Bay Area to bring in-person donations and share their reasons for donating on the air. On Saturday, La Raza broadcasted out of the Oakland hospital cafeteria and interviewed some incredible patient families. These families shared their child’s journey with their illness and described what it like for patients and families at our hospitals.
During the 2-day event, over 1,300 pledges were made over the phone by La Raza listeners, and pledges are still coming in!
We cannot thank the La Raza team enough for their enthusiasm and dedication for supporting our hospitals. 100% of the funds raised during the radiothon will go back to our patients, families, and staff at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals and allow our hospitals to care for all patients, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
