We have some BIG news! We are Hosting our 2nd Annual iHeart Radiothon!
Meet Ava, our Radiothon Ambassador. Ava is a bright and resilient young girl who has been a part of Child’s Way Daycare at The Children’s Home & Lemieux Family Center for an incredible 13 years. Her journey began as an infant, when Ava spent time at The Pediatric Specialty Hospital at The Children’s Home, and it was there that her mom, Lauren, first discovered Child’s Way— a nurturing daycare specifically designed for medically fragile children. Over the years, Ava has thrived in this unique environment, learning invaluable lessons, forming lifelong friendships, and experiencing the world in ways that might not have been possible otherwise. For Lauren and Ava, Child’s Way has become a second family, offering not just medical care but a community of love and support. As the only facility of its kind, Child’s Way provides more than just a safe place for Ava; it offers an alternative to in-home medical care, giving both Ava and her family the opportunity to grow, laugh, and live fully.
This February 12th and 13th, The Children’s Home is teaming up with iHeart Radio’s BIG 104.7 country radio station for our second annual radiothon. With the help of much-loved radio personalities, Bobby Bones, Angie Ward, and Pittsburgh’s own, Mike Kasper, The Children’s Home hopes to raise $50,000 over the course of two days to support needs in our Pediatric Specialty Hospital, Child’s Way, Adoption & Permanency, Counseling, Therapy Services and Pediatric VIEW programs.
