30 Ways ECBC Helps Cancer Warriors Thrive Through Treatment: Day #8 of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Sept 8: The 8th way that ECBC helps hospitalized kids thrive through treatment is by broadcasting a story time each week through Seacrest Studios, CHOC’s radio station. The radio read-aloud show began when all of ECBC’s volunteer programs were halted due to COVID, since Ethan could record the show from home and send it to CHOC to be aired.Although the radio show couldn’t come close to replacing our amazing bedside readers, it at least ensured a bit of access to good stories at a time when safety precautions allowed for no visitors or diversions. To check out Ethan’s story time that was aired today at CHOC, click the image below. To support Ethan’ radio show, go to www.runsignup.com/BOOKIT2020 and donate $20 to cover the cost of a new high-quality picture book that will be used for a future storytime. THANK YOU for supporting BOOK IT and helping to honor cancer warriors during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
