Jeff Boden, president and CEO;  Mike Reath, vice president and general manager; and Steve Monz, operations manager, accepted the award for Delmarva Broadcasting.

Bank of America volunteers have also played key roles at the hospital, helping with the Halloween party, the “prom” for some of the sickest patients.

·       delmarva-broadcasting-team-with-nemoursDelmarva Broadcasting Company – Since 2011, the Delmarva Broadcasting Company has hosted the Help Our Kids Radiothon for Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. This event is beloved by associates, patient families and by the community, and it is one of the most successful fundraisers every year. Since that first event, the Radiothon has raised more than $1.3M for duPont Hospital’s programs and services. Delmarva Broadcasting secures sponsors for the event and also donates time and talent that has equated to millions of dollars.

“We are extremely grateful to our corporate partners,” said Cathy Kanefsky, chief development officer of the Nemours Fund for Children’s Health. “For years, Bank of America and the Delmarva Broadcasting Company have gone above and beyond for Nemours and the children we serve. We are incredibly grateful for their support and we look forward to seeing what we can continue to do for kids, together.”
