"Our tenth annual Radiothon in collaboration with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals was a huge success, and we would be remiss to not congratulate this incredible charity for all their hard work over the years.

"Our partnership with Entravision Communications has produced a monumental achievement for the kids in this 10th annual Radiothon, which has evolved into a full blown Mediathon with comprehensive digital support," said Danny Garcia, National Director Hispanic Media Partners. "We are extremely grateful to the entire team for their all-out effort to make this an absolute success, which impacts so many families and communities across the country. Children's Miracle Network looks forward to growing this partnership and is excited to work on new and better ways of making miracles happen for the kids."
