Responding to the call of their favourite hosts, thousands of listeners joined the Circle of Hugs with a monthly donation of $20. The final result clearly demonstrates their generosity. In 11 years, more than $18.9 million has been raised for The Children’s thanks to CJAD 800, CHOM 97 7, Virgin Radio 96 and TSN 690.

All funds raised will go to the Healthy Kids Fund to meet the most urgent needs of the hospital, which include medical and surgical equipment and funding for innovative projects.
