Every day at Children’s Hospital of Illinois children battle a variety of illnesses. In many ways, they are like Superheroes.
All good Superheroes have a trusty sidekick. For patients of Children’s Hospital, that sidekick is our donors. Thanks, in part, to donations, Children’s Hospital is able to provide a level of pediatric care found at no other area hospital.
Join friends, families and staff of Children’s Hospital of Illinois for the 26th annual Children’s Miracle Network Telethon sponsored by State Farm, Sunday, June 5, 2011 broadcast live on WEEK-TV from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. The show will originate from the RiverPlex in downtown Peoria and the Parke Hotel and Conference Centre in Bloomington.
Bring your children to the Superhero Kid Zone sponsored by Ameren at both locations during the broadcast for a day of family fun. There will be inflatables, a craft area and other activities. Have your kids come dressed as their favorite superhero!
Dave and Karen Magers are honorary family chairs for the annual Telethon. Dave Magers is the Chief Financial Officer of COUNTRY Financial. Karen Magers is the Director of the Bloomington Eye Institute.
