DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon benefiting UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon benefiting Dollar Energy Fund
At Ken Ganley Toyota Pittsburgh, being part of the Pittsburgh community means more than helping our neighbors find the right vehicle. We believe in supporting the people, families and organizations that make our community such a special place to call home.That’s why we’re proud to support two meaningful iHeartMedia community fundraising events in 2026: the DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon benefiting UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon benefiting Dollar Energy Fund.
Both events bring Pittsburgh together around causes that make a real difference, and we’re honored to play a part.
Join Us for the DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon
The DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon returns September 16–18, 2026, as 102.5 WDVE teams up with UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh for a three-day broadcast featuring patient stories, inspiring families and dedicated care teams.The Radiothon raises funds to support UPMC Children’s Hospital, helping provide world-class pediatric care, advance groundbreaking research and support children facing illness.
The impact of this event continues to grow. In 2025, the Radiothon raised an incredible $1,210,739, making it the best Radiothon ever. Since the event began, more than $13 million has been raised for UPMC Children’s Hospital.
The DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon has also been the #1 iHeartMedia radiothon fundraiser for a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for eight consecutive years, from 2018 through 2025.
We’re proud to contribute to this year's effort with a $10,000 donation to Children’s Hospital.
Help Us Match Our $10,000 Donation
During the Radiothon, DVE’s large listening audience will be encouraged to help match Ken Ganley’s $10,000 contribution by making a donation of their own.If you would like to participate, you can donate through givetochildrens.org or by calling the Radiothon phone lines during the event.
The 2025 Radiothon showed just how powerful that community support can be. More than 3,500 donors participated, with contributions coming from Pittsburgh and beyond, including listeners from 19 states and 36 area codes.
Whether you make a one-time contribution or choose to become a monthly supporter, every donation can help provide important support for children and their families.

We’re also excited to have Justin, Manager of Ken Ganley Toyota Pittsburgh, represent our dealership during the Radiothon.Justin will participate in a radio interview at 8:15 a.m., where he’ll have the opportunity to talk about our support and why giving back to our community is important to our team.

Later This Year: Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon
Our community giving doesn’t stop with the Radiothon. Later this year, we’ll also be supporting the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon, a two-day fundraiser benefiting Dollar Energy Fund.The 2026 Winter Warm Up will take place November 10 and 11 and will be hosted by 94.5 3WS. The event helps provide critical utility assistance to local families facing winter hardships.
Ken Ganley is making a $20,000 donation to Dollar Energy Fund for Winter Warm Up. Thanks to participating utility partners, that donation is matched dollar-for-dollar, immediately turning our $20,000 contribution into $40,000 in support.
We’re especially proud that Ken Ganley Toyota is the largest donor to this event. It’s an opportunity for us to help our neighbors while encouraging others throughout Pittsburgh to get involved as well.
The Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon has raised more than $1 million through support from sponsors and listeners, helping provide utility assistance to families in need. Every dollar donated is matched by participating utility partners, doubling the impact of community contributions.
Giving Back Is Part of Being Your Local Toyota Dealer
For our team at Ken Ganley Toyota Pittsburgh, supporting our community is something we’re genuinely proud to do.The DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon and Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon give us two opportunities this year to stand alongside our Pittsburgh neighbors and support families who need a helping hand.
We hope you’ll join us by tuning in to the DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon this September, listening to Justin’s interview and considering a donation to Children’s Hospital. Then, later this year, we encourage you to look for the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon and help us support Dollar Energy Fund.
