Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon presented by CIBC Wood Gundy is BACK live on location at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) and broadcasting province-wide on November 5th and 6th, 2025. Over the next two days, listeners from across Saskatchewan will hear heartfelt stories from children, families, and medical professionals at JPCH from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily across 33 radio stations.

This year’s James Bond-themed Radiothon will support essential pediatric otology and otolaryngology programs and equipment. Contributions will not only enhance clinical capabilities but will also provide hope and improve the quality of life for countless children facing health challenges.

The funds raised with Project OO: Licence to Heal will strengthen Saskatchewan’s only Cochlear Implant Program, replace outdated sound booths and provide innovative technology for JPCH medical teams. Increasing access to advanced hearing health starts with ensuring JPCH has world-class medical professionals. Providing professional development opportunities to attract and retain specialized professionals, including otolaryngologists, otologists, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers, who are vital to a child’s communication development and overall well-being.

Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital has over *85,000 babies, children and moms-to-be visit annually from across the province. Every donation ensures children in Saskatchewan will have access to critical care regardless of their postal code.

A huge thank you to our dedicated supporters of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, David and Karen Holst Family Foundation, who are matching Radiothon donations up to $200,000!

“Our family deeply believes that every child deserves the best possible health-care close to home. This cause resonates strongly with us, especially when it comes to hearing health. Ensuring all Saskatchewan children have the support they need to grow, learn, and thrive isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a commitment to their future. Every donation to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon makes a difference proud to match every donation, up to $200,000. Let’s unite as a community and make a profound difference for our province’s children together,” says David and Karen Holst.

Project OO: Licence to Heal is about giving that gift of connection, through sound, communication, and care, to children across Saskatchewan,” says Troy Davies, CEO of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. “This Radiothon unites our province in one powerful mission: ensuring that every child, no matter where they live, can receive specialized care and the latest technology right here at home.
