Throughout the day, viewers across the region tuned in to hear from grateful patients and hospital staff, who shared powerful and inspiring stories of courage and hope in the face of life-threatening cancer diagnoses.
Thanks to sponsorships and the generosity of dollar-for-dollar, matching-gift-challenge donors, a total of $370,000 was raised, with day-of proceeds benefiting The Malloy Strong Fund at Rhode Island Hospital, which provides general support including financial, physical, and emotional assistance for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
