(Lea este poste en Español aquí.)

I am so proud to be a member of the Hispanic community in Milwaukee. Over the last two years, we have come together to truly make a difference in our children’s lives through the La Gran D 104.7 Hispanic Radiothon. The event benefits Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin – and in such a short timeframe, we have given more than $90,000 to the hospital.

We at La Gran D are ready to do it again – and this year, we want to do it bigger and better than ever, but we need your help. Please join us this week, Thursday, July 15, through Saturday, July 17, for the third annual La Gran D 104.7 FM Hispanic Radiothon. This radiothon is for all of the little ones that need our help. I’m ready to help, are you? (more…)
