U.S. 103.5 Cares of Kids Radiothon

Interning at Clear Channel Radio, I get an opportunity to work events within the stations like the Jingle Ball at 93.3 FLZ, multiple country concerts with U.S. 103.5,including Jake Owen and Craig Campbell and now the 103.5 Cares of Kids Radiothon benefiting All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.


At the Radiothon, I have been in charge of posting photo galleries on the U.S. 103.5 website and updating social media for the station on Facebook and Twitter accounts.



 Day 1: Thursday, December 8th


 The All Children's Hospital is located in St Petersburg, Florida. Radiothon is an event organized to raise money to support the hospital and all they do for children in the central Florida and surrounding areas and the Outpatient Care Centers.



My view on Thursday at the Radiothon!


I got to the event at 1 p.m. and was here until 7:30 p.m. uploading pictures and posting to social media.


The All Children's Hospital is a very visual place! When walking in, the hallway is filled with eye-popping statues and colorful walls.
The view of the Outpatient Care Center is full of pedestrians in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg.



The All Children's Hospital offers us a healthy and delicious dinner for the Radiothon Team!


Pineapple Pizza and Mac and Cheese!


No chance to leave the desk for updating social media and photo galleries.

Sitting next to Michelle, from the All Children's Hospital E-Health Team, we are busy getting posts on the internet!


The room is always changing with new faces coming in and out. Volunteers from Kohls, Walmart and many other local companies.



Day 2: Friday


The All Children's Hospital was so kind to offer me lots of CANDY to keep me awake and jittery.


They even made a cute little stocking for Christmas with nice goodies inside!


To end the day, U.S. 103.5 helped the All Children's Hospital raise $179,961! We kept the total a secret until the end of the event, then on air, we announced the total amount raised! It was a great experience and spending the past two days at the St Pete All Children's Hospital was a success.
