The 2023 Careathon presented by Duval Asphalt exceeded $300,000 on Friday, a new one-day record for the radiothon.
Since 2015, Careathon has raised over $2 million for the Child Cancer Fund of NE Florida. The Child Cancer Fund is a partner to families of pediatric cancer patients and provides programs and services to 300 families annually.
AUCTION: Browse and bid until 12:00 pm Monday
When a family calls the Child Cancer Fund, staff provides gift cards, mortgage assistance, meals, tutoring and other financial assistance.
FULL COVERAGE: Careathon now in its 9th year
Pediatric cancer patients face weekly or monthly treatment, as well as unplanned ER visits, and more. Every visit comes with costs for the family: gasoline, meals, and more.
