Charity to sponsor matching hour 2pm-3pm on Friday  
 
Atlanta - Aug. 21, 2008 - Tune your radios to News/Talk 750 WSB Radio on Friday Aug. 22nd between 2pm and 3pm EDT as Curing Kids' Cancer founders Grainne and Clay Owen team up with the Atlanta radio station to raise money for the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Service at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
 
Curing Kids' Cancer will be contributing a matching donation of $20,000 during the 2pm hour, which will hosted by nationally syndicated radio host and consumer advocate Clark Howard. You can also listen online.
 
It's the fourth consecutive appearance on the WSB Care-a-Thon for charity founders Clay and Grainne Owen. Coaches Curing Kids' Cancer was founded on the Care-a-Thon four years ago when Grainne told the story of how the Owen family lost their nine-year-old son Killian to leukemia, and their quest to find new cutting edge treatments for childhood cancers.
 
Since that time, Curing Kids' Cancer has donated more than $500,000 to the Aflac Cancer Center.
 
The charity has two main programs - Coaches Curing Kids' Cancer and Teachers Curing Kids' Cancer. Both programs use a simple concept: Instead of buying your coach or teacher a gift, donate the money to Curing Kids' Cancer. The money goes to childhood cancer research and in return, the coach or teacher receives an original gift, a certificate and the great feeling of helping kids kick cancer.

The 37-hour marathon broadcast - which began today - features stories of hope and inspiration from Aflac Cancer Center patients, families and staff. With the help of WSB special hosts Scott Slade, Neal Boortz and Clark Howard, the annual Care-a-Thons have raised more than $5.7 million for the Aflac Cancer Center at Children's.
