Advocacy matters.
Awareness saves lives.

💙 Two days. Countless stories. One incredible community. 💙

What a night! Together we raised an extraordinary $466,058 for the patients and families of Akron Children’s at this year's Have a Heart, Do Your Part Radiothon .

What happened on those airwaves was more than fundraising. It was neighbors showing up for neighbors. It was hope shared in real time.

To Keith Kennedy, Tony McGinty, and the amazing 98.1 WKDD team: thank you for giving our families a voice. And to our steadfast sponsors and generous donors, your compassion fuels the care our kids receive every single day.

Because of you, healing is closer. Comfort is stronger. And the future is brighter for so many children.

This is what it means to have a heart. 💙✨

❤💙Heart Month💙❤

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the leading cause of birth defect–related illness and death in infants. Nearly 48% of deaths from CHDs occur during the first year of life, highlighting just how critical early detection and treatment can be.

The survival of infants with CHDs depends on several factors, including the severity of the defect, when it is diagnosed, and how it is treated. Thanks to advances in medicine, outcomes have improved dramatically. About 75% of babies born with a critical CHD are expected to survive to their first birthday, and roughly 69% are expected to reach 18 years of age.

These numbers show both the challenges and the incredible progress in care for children with CHDs. Early diagnosis, timely intervention, and specialized medical care can make a life-saving difference.

Tonight, we remember our brave CHD angels. 💙❤️

Children who fought with a strength beyond their years.

Children who showed us what courage truly looks like.

Every tear.
Every anxious moment.
Every sleepless night.

It was all worth the precious time we were given.

We honor their courage.

We carry them in our hearts forever.

And we will always speak their names with love.

If you are an angel family, please know we are holding you especially close tonight. 🤍

Drop your child’s name below if you feel led — we will say it with you.
