Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon presented by CIBC Wood
Gundy is BACK live on location at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) and broadcasting province-wide
on November 5th and 6th, 2024. Over the next two days, listeners from across Saskatchewan will hear
heartfelt stories from children, families, and medical professionals at JPCH from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily across 32 radio stations.

This year’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon will support essential pediatric cardiology and
respirology equipment, providing critical care to sick children in the province. Contributions will not only
enhance clinical capabilities but will also provide hope and improve the quality of life for countless children facing health challenges.

The JPCH Radiothon funds will revolutionize cardiac care, enabling faster and more accurate diagnoses for young cardiac patients through advanced ultrasounds and specialized heart tests, ensuring timely and
effective treatment. Donations will also transform respiratory health, providing cutting-edge tools for the
diagnosis and management of various breathing disorders including asthma, cystic fibrosis, sleeping
disorders, premature lung disorders, and congenital airway anomalies.

Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital has over *83,000 babies, children and moms-to-be visit annually from 575
Saskatchewan communities. Every donation ensures children in Saskatchewan will have access to critical
care regardless of their postal code.

A huge thank you to our dedicated supporters of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, Gord and Barb Broda of Prince Albert who are matching Radiothon donations up to $150,000!

“Healing happens faster for children when they can stay close to their family while receiving care at Jim
Pattison Children’s Hospital. Keeping kids in our own province is vital for not only our children but also
Saskatchewan families which strengthens our entire province,” said Barb Broda. “Every donation to Jim
Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon matters, and we are proud to double your donation with our match, up to $150,000. Let’s make a difference for our province’s children together,” adds Gord Broda.
“We are broadcasting live at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital and across the province, where the power of
community, compassion, and generosity comes to life. These two days are about hope, connection, and
making sure every child facing health challenges knows they are not alone. Every dollar raised will help
provide state-of-the-art equipment so the incredible JPCH staff can deliver life-saving cardiac and
respiratory care, improving the futures of children across the province,” says Brynn Boback-Lane, President and CEO of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. “The amazing generosity of supporters like Gord and Barb Broda, who are matching donations up to $150,000, reminds us of the strength of our
Saskatchewan spirit. Your contributions will truly change lives, ensuring that children and youth receive the critical care they need, right here at home.”
