Darvin and team helped raised $925,831 for Lurie Children's Radiothon.
Darvin Furniture & Mattress once again stepped up for families in need, partnering with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital and iHeartMedia Chicago for the 5th annual Lurie Children’s Radiothon December 11. The all-day holiday broadcast, heard across six Chicago radio stations, raised $925,831 to support lifesaving care for the hospital’s young patients.

The Radiothon introduced listeners to first-hand stories of courage, medical breakthroughs and the resilience of the children cared for at Lurie. Every dollar raised will help fuel research and provide essential family support programs.

This year, Darvin Furniture & Mattress and Flexsteel transformed a space inside the hospital into the Lurie Holiday Family Room, a warm, cozy environment where families receiving treatment can relax, meet on-air personalities and take special holiday photos as part of their Radiothon experience. Darvin President Will Harris greeted several of the children and families, many of whom were interviewed live by iHeartMedia DJs throughout the day.

iHeartMedia Chicago’s popular on-air talent broadcast from the hospital to inspire listeners to call in or donate online. Darvin sent 10 associates and partners to help staff the phone banks and take donations. And during the Radiothon’s Power Hour—from 3 to 4 p.m.—Darvin matched all donations, doubling the impact of every gift made during that time.
