Z99 RADIOTHON
The 36th annual Z99 Radiothon was held on March 17, 2023 and raised a total
of $560,576 for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Regina General Hospital!
These funds will help provide life-saving technology to further enhance
the ability of medical teams in Regina to care for the more than 500 fragile
newborns that visit Regina General Hospital’s NICU each year. Since it began in
1987, the radiothon has raised $10 million.

Viterra’s Regina team participated in several initiatives in February to raise
funds for the radiothon, which included raffles, weekly jeans days, 50/50’s, and
a treat day. Through these initiatives, Viterra staff raised over $7,500 which was
matched corporately for a total donation of over $15,000!
