The Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation and all of the Nexstar Media Inc. television stations serving the state of West Virginia today announced that the Foundation will donate $25,000 to WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital. The donation is part of the WVU Medicine Children’s Mediathon, a day-long fundraising effort, hosted by WBOY-TV (Clarksburg-Weston, WV), WOWK-TV (Charleston-Huntington, WV), WTRF-TV (Wheeling, WV-Steubenville, Ohio), WVNS-TV (Bluefield-Beckley, West Va.,) and WDVM-TV (Hagerstown, Md.).
All five Nexstar stations have partnered with the hospital since 2019, when the first mediathon was held, raising more than $1.8 million dollars to support the completion of the new 150-bed, nine-story WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital. During the course of the mediathon, each Nexstar television station dedicates an entire day of television, web, and social media promotion to fundraising efforts on behalf of the hospital.
