The Miracles and Magic Radiothon is broadcast by Magic 107.9 and hosted by the Arkansas Children’s Northwest Auxiliary on the first Friday of February (2/2/24). Together we can make Arkansas the safest, healthiest place to be a child. 

During the holidays, the ACNW Auxiliary hosts the following events and projects:

  • Teddy Bear Tea: Children from all over northwest Arkansas come together to experience tea, hot cocoa, cookies and story time and crafts with Santa. This ticketed event allows parents to shop local vendors while children enjoy a unique holiday experience.
  • My Bright Star: Stars line the streets of the Arkansas Children’s Northwest campus during the holiday season. You can bring joy to local patients by honoring a bright star in your life. Stars will go on sale during the month of November and be on display until mid-December.  

ACNW Auxiliary members have the opportunity to volunteer at the Festival of Stars Toy and Donation Drive and the Snowflake Shoppe. Learn more at www.archildrens.org/festival.
