Country Legends 106.9 Miracle Marathon for Kids Radiothon

Since 2006, KTPK has done a radiothon for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN) at St. Francis Health Center in Topeka, Kansas. The radiothon takes place at Topeka's West Ridge Mall, each year during a week in August, on a Tuesday through Thursday from 6AM to 6PM. While on air, they not raise money for the sick and injured children, but the tell stories, as well. 2009 was a record breaking year for the fundraiser, as they raised a record breaker $105,205.59, up from 2008, where they raised just over $102,000.[3] Since then, they've raised amounts between $90,000 and $102,000.
