Anthony Rizzo and the ANTHONY RIZZO FAMILY FOUNDATION once again stepped up in a big way for the kids at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital! ⚾️ Their incredible generosity and dedication to making life better for pediatric patients and their families were at the heart of this year’s KISS Country Cares Radiothon. Thanks to their support, and the amazing KISS Country 99.9 listeners and our community, we raised over $304k over TWO days! 👏 This is the most EVER raised during the 21 years of this incredible event. Since 2003, the radiothon has shared inspiring stories of hope and healing, and this year was no exception. Thank you, Anthony Rizzo, the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation, and all the miracle makers who made this milestone possible. Together, we’re changing lives and ensuring every child gets the specialized care they deserve. ❤️ #AnthonyRizzo #RizzoFamilyFoundation #KissCountryRadiothon #JDCH #HopeAndHealing #JDCHFoundation

The Grinch tried to steal Christmas at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, but thanks to Hollywood Fire Rescue and Police, he was quickly "caught" and holiday cheer was restored! 🎅 Santa made a grand entrance, waving to kids from high above in the fire engine, and toys were delivered to spread joy to our patients. Thank you to everyone who made this festive tradition possible! 🎁

Do you believe in magic? Surely our patients do, and their holiday wishes came true! Thanks to the generosity of United Airlines, around thirty of our patients travelled on an unforgettable trip to the North Pole. They flew halfway across the world to meet Santa Claus and all his little helpers as they prepare for the big day! Upon landing, they were greeted by Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders and even spent time with their trusty co-pilot, Freedom, and Elsa and Anna from The Happy Princess Club! Thank you to everyone who made this day extra special and brought holiday cheer to our patients. We are eternally grateful for United Airlines for bringing this to life and creating magical memories for our little ones. 🎄🎅✨

In the Wasie Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, such a sight! Decorated like Who-ville, so festive and bright. Tiny patients and families, hearts full of cheer, a magical holiday season, oh so dear! Perhaps it was Freedom, the pup by his side, or the parents who decorated with so much pride. Whatever it was, the Grinch had to say, “This NICU has filled my heart today!” Now every nurse, parent, and the Grinch would agree — The tiniest Whos make the holidays as magical as can be! #HappyHolidays from our tiniest patients.

The holiday fun continues in the CITY Furniture Family Lounge! Thanks to CITY Furniture, Santa himself stopped by to spread joy and holiday cheer to our patients and families. Patients also enjoyed decorating cookies with Santa, the CITY Furniture team, and special guests from the Florida Panthers, including Viktor E. Rat, Stanley C. Panther, and the Panthers Dancers. We’re so grateful to CITY Furniture and the Florida Panthers for bringing the magic of the season to life and making unforgettable memories for everyone. #JDCHFoundation #JDCH #JDCHKids #CityFurniture #HolidaySeason #CatchTheLove #FLAPanthers
