Teams of four will enjoy 18 holes of golf on a day filled with fun and excitement at the Humber Valley Resort River Course.

The Radiothon is the Western Regional Hospital Foundation’s largest special event and the host this year is none other than Lenny Benoit with BayFM on 100.1 FM. Because the Hospital Foundation is the only regional foundation on the West Coast of Newfoundland we ask for the support of each and every resident during our Annual Radiothon. This fun-filled one day event is always graced with the participation and support of many volunteers, doctors, businesses, service groups, schools and individuals. This event takes place in late September or early October, usually on the Friday of the weekend prior to the Thanksgiving Day weekend. You can make your Radiothon donation by calling 634-2322 on Radiothon Day or at 784-5353 in advance. Send us a selfie of you and your donation or a sign saying why you donate and we will share it on Social Media leading up to the event!
