Dayton, OH, October 23, 2026 —
K99.1FM is hosting its annual Cares for Kids Radiothon today, with the broadcast scheduled to run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The fundraiser is intended to support the Canine Co-Pilots program at Dayton Children’s Hospital.
The hospital program uses trained facility dogs to support children receiving care in the hospital and their families. The radiothon has historically raised significant funds for the hospital, though no past fundraising totals or target for this year’s event were provided.
The event’s stated focus is the Canine Co-Pilots program. The available information does not specify how funds will be allocated within the program, how many dogs participate, or what services the dogs provide beyond supporting hospitalized children and their families.
K99.1FM described the radiothon as an annual event. The date on which this year’s broadcast is taking place was not provided beyond the reference to “today.” Details about donation methods, participating hosts or guests, and any fundraising updates during the broadcast were also not included.
The 12-hour broadcast links the station’s fundraiser with a hospital program that brings trained facility dogs into its work supporting patients and families. The amount raised this year was not available in the information provided.
