Episode description
Radio done right can mobilize a community to do good - and that is exactly what is happening this week in the Delaware Valley. It's the annual fundraising effort known as the “Help Our Kids” radiothon, an all-hands-on-deck broadcast extravaganza held, in years past, in the atrium of the A. I. Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington and on the airwaves of six Delaware Valley radio stations. Nemours associate Becky Phillips fills us in on the move from an in-person event to one that is now fully virtual.
Florida-based Nemours patient services specialist Sharleen O’Brien-Smock shares her first Nemours experience as a 14-year-old living outside Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and how that experience informs her work today.
