Members of Concordia’s Engineering Students Association (ECA) went to the Montreal Children’s Hospital last week, April 30, to participate in their annual Caring for Kids Radiothon.

The ECA sponsored a “Miracle Hour” from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. During the hour 231 people had to call to join the “Circle of Hugs”, with the aim of helping to purchase a machine to detect asthma in children.

The ECA achieved their goal and ECAid, the charity branch of the ECA, donated $20,000 to the Radiothon.

The ECA wishes to thank the Concordia community for all their support, and hopes they’ll join them again at next year’s Radiothon.
