The Children's Cottage 12th Annual Radiothon - Presented by XL103 fm
We will be streaming live updates on Twitter all day long, make sure to check it out. 
Rocked to sleep, rescued from nightmares, owies kissed away, picked up when you fall down or just told you are special . . . many kids at the Children’s Cottage have never known these simple pleasures of being a child. You can change that on Thursday, October 7, 2010. We will be airing live from Market Mall Centre Court 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Please come and visit!
October is National Child Abuse Awareness month and you can join the fight to give Calgary’s vulnerable children a safe and healthy future. Support of the Children’s Cottage Radiothon ensures that children in our community never have to experience the devastating effects of child abuse and neglect. Last year alone, participation in the Radiothon contributed to the positive and life changing impact to more than 2,400 children at the Children’s Cottage Society. This year YOU could make a difference in the lives of even more children in our community when you give a gift to the Cottage.
