WLRA Raises Funds for Advocate Childrens Hospitals

Lewis University WLRA's Marathon Broadcast raised over $2,000 this semester for Advocate Children's Hospitals. Since its inception, WLRA has raised over $100,000 in support of the Lewis University Family Assistance Fund at Advocate Children's Hospitals.

The fundraiser involves a 24-hour non-stop broadcast of students that take six-hour shifts. Select Lewis University students are on the air for longer stints. WLRA general manager Patrick Hennessey, Logan Kap and Anthony Denardis led the campaign for students to raise funds for a worthy cause.
