difference makers THE 2024 CMNH PARTNERSHIP GUIDE FOR

$ 86,000 + was raised through generous donations from the community and all across Alabama

Children’s of Alabama partnered with WVTM 13 for the third annual Day of Giving on December 3, 2024. The all-day event included live broadcasts from the hospital featuring patient families and staff. It helped raise crucial funds and awareness for Children’s of Alabama, the state’s only freestanding pediatric hospital. This year, Alfa Insurance joined the initiative as the evening broadcast matching gift sponsor, doubling every donation made from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., up to $25,000.

Together, people from all across Alabama called in to collectively help raise more than $86,000— beating both the 2024 goal ($50,000) and the previous year’s total.

The Day of Giving events concluded with a special tree lighting by Cole, a Children’s of Alabama patient and Children’s Champion. The tree lighting commemorated the telethon’s success and helped kick off the holiday season at the hospital. The impact of the Day of Giving donations can be felt throughout the hospital, as the funds support the hospital’s highest-priority needs.
