WBZ and Children's Announce Enhanced Partnership

WBZ-TV and Children's Hospital Boston have expanded their nearly 25-year Programming and Public Service partnership by transitioning the December Children's Hospital Boston's Telethon into a year-round campaign titled WBZ 4 Kids. WBZ News features, reported by WBZ-TV's Lisa Hughes, highlight inspirational patient stories and Children's Hospital's innovative pediatric care and research.  This year on Thursday, December 20, WBZ-TV will support the important work of Children's Hospital with a fundraising day.  WBZ-TV will cut-away during all newscasts for interviews at the hospital with Children's patients and staff.  WBZ-TV will solicit community support for the hospital by encouraging viewers to make donations through wbztv.com and by phone, 1-888-630-KIDS.
