As I posted yesterday it was Phi Mu's Founders Day. To celebrate, nine members of our alumnae chapter volunteered for the Children's Hospital Radiothon. We worked the phone bank and had a great time. The phones were BUSY (thank goodness) and we were on the news! :)
This was by far the most exciting day and hours of Radiothon. The media was there, many of the kids serviced from the hospital and we were able to be there when the final amount pledged was announced. Last year $180,000 was raised and this year it was topped with over $203,000!!!! Amazing!!
I spent most of my time calling and verifying pledges versus taking calls, but I did get to answer a few. The best part was talking to people who have children, grandchildren, church friends or neighbors who were serviced by the Children's hospital and meeting some of the kids --- like the one little boy who came with his mom to make a donation and has been in remission from cancer for two years. I am so glad that we could be a part of making a difference in the lives of children and their families.
After the totals announcement, seven of us headed to Za's to celebrate over dinner!
