Two Days of Compassion Radiothon

December 8, 2026 5:30AM – December 9, 2026 7:00PM

Two days. One powerful mission. Endless ways to show compassion.

Variety’s Two Days of Compassion Radiothon returns Tuesday, December 8, and Wednesday, December 9, bringing Iowans together to support children facing critical illnesses and long hospital stays.

Tune in to Newsradio 1040 WHO, along with KDAT in Eastern Iowa, to hear the real stories of Iowa families and the difference a little extra support can make during an incredibly difficult time.

Your donation to the Compassion Fund helps provide immediate support when families need it most - from gas cards and meals to help with essential bills, birthday celebrations, and support for siblings.

Because when a child is in the hospital, families shouldn’t have to face everything else alone.

Tune in. Listen. Give. Help bring a little compassion to an Iowa family when they need it most.
