Navient Foundation sponsors Nemours annual radiothon
September 04 2018 - 10:00AM
During a two-day event, phones will ring off the hook at
Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children as the local
hospital hosts its eighth annual Help Our Kids Radiothon. Navient
Foundation, the company-sponsored philanthropic fund, awarded a
$6,120 grant to support the hospital and sponsor the fundraiser.
Hosted by Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, six
local radio stations will broadcast live heartwarming stories of
hope, courage and compassion from patients, their families and
clinicians, while encouraging listeners to phone in and make
donations.
“This year’s event benefits hospital-based programs at
Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, such as Child Life,
Creative Arts Therapy & School Programs and Palliative Care,”
said Becky Phillips, partnership development and cause marketing
for the hospital. “These programs provide patients with tools to
cope with their hospital stay through art, music, dance and
educational activities. These types of programs are crucial to
helping children be children while being treated, providing fun and
hope to the entire family.”
Sponsored by Delmarva Broadcasting Company, the 2018 Help Our
Kids Radiothon will take place on Sept. 5 and 6 from 6 a.m. to 6
p.m. Navient employees will join about 140 volunteers on the staff
donation lines during the two-day event. “Every year, I volunteer
at the radiothon because it is a great way to give back and the
children that you meet are inspiring,” said Penny Nasuti, manager,
Navient. “I have a personal connection to the hospital as my oldest
son contracted a serious eye infection several years ago. The
hospital staff were extremely dedicated and focused on delivering
the best treatment for him. The team of dedicated professionals
kept me informed and made sure I was also taken care of during his
stay. I am happy to report he made a full recovery after being
treated at Nemours. The radiothon is a wonderful event that it is
close to many of us who live in Delaware.”
Last year, the hospital served more than 190,000 in the Delaware
Valley.
