IT'S OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR......
The 2009 Radiothon appeal commenced during Peter Newman's breakfast show on Wednesday 27th May and concluded at 1:00pm on Sunday 31st May. We believe that it was probably the busiest Radiothon ever and to all the volunteers who worked so hard, a sincere thank you.
The final total was $102,210 and this was made up through donations from listeners ranging from $2,000 to $5.00. The total number of donors was 2,434.
Curtin FM generates approximately 15% of its funds from fundraising activities (the remainder comes from on air sponsorship) and radiothon is the biggest single fundraiser conducted throughout the year.
The amount generated exceeded Station expectations and is testament to the generosity and loyalty of Curtin FM listeners.
During the duration of radiothon over 80 volunteers assisted in taking calls, collating pledges and assisting in the smooth running of what is a very large operation.
Not only are the funds very welcome but it also shows the strength of support that there is in the community with the listeners.
Huge thanks to all.
