Radiothon
Every child deserves to be safe, and our Radiothon is your opportunity to join the Edmonton community in raising funds to keep infants and children safe, and their families strong each Christmas. It’s our annual capital campaign kicking off on December 1st and running all December long. We partner with our friends at 105.9 SHINE FM and AM 930 The Light to broadcast live in an effort to rally the community together in support of the families we serve.
It is people like you that have enabled us to provide a safe place for over 27,000 infants and children since 1995. Unfortunately, this year has been challenging for many, and our organization is no exception. We have seen a significant increase in the severity of our crisis calls, and an increased number of infants and children who are in need of a safe space.
