Wings Regional Cancer Support, a nonprofit organization that offers financial assistance to individuals and families undergoing cancer treatment, is holding its 20th annual fundraiser this week.
The 20th Annual WINGS Radiothon is Jan. 21-22 at the Sportsman and Ski Haus in Kalispell. The event will raise funds for cancer patients in Northwest Montana to help cover the out-of-pocket expenses associated with their treatment that are not covered by health insurance. The Radiothon is hosted by Bee Broadcasting, which will be covering the event live from 6 a.m. through 6 p.m. Jan. 22. Bee Broadcasting stations include B 98.5 FM, 880 AM, 105.1 FM, 103. 1FM, 1240 AM, 106.3 FM and 95.9 FM.
