Tune in tomorrow as 2GB Sydney teams up with the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW for the highly anticipated 2GB Vinnies Christmas Radiothon – an inspiring day dedicated to raising vital funds for families facing challenges this holiday season.
Now in its third year, the Radiothon has already raised an incredible $300,000 over 2022 and 2023, proving the extraordinary generosity of the 2GB community.
Throughout the day, from Ben Fordham in Breakfast (5.30am-9.00am) to Ray Hadley in Mornings (9.00am-12.00pm), Michael McLaren in Afternoons (12.00pm-3.00pm), and Chris O’Keefe in Drive (3.00pm-6.00pm), 2GB will showcase the life-changing work of Vinnies and rally support for their Christmas Appeal.
Luke Davis, 2GB Content Manager, said: “Each year, the Radiothon is such an uplifting day for our listeners and staff, so the 2GB family jumped at the chance to partner with Vinnies for our third annual Christmas Radiothon.”
“On a daily basis, our listeners remind us how tough it is for everyday Australians to make ends meet. We also know that our community and partners are extraordinarily generous. Collectively, we can make a significant and very real difference to the lives of many this Christmas, and we’re looking forward to spreading some magic on Wednesday.”
CEO of the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW, Yolanda Saiz, said: “We’re excited to be partnering with 2GB once again for the Vinnies Christmas Radiothon. The generosity of listeners over the past three years of the radiothon has been heartwarming and this year is more important than ever as households struggle with ongoing cost of living pressures.”
“All the funds raised through the radiothon will go straight back into the community, allowing our members to provide support to people experiencing disadvantage including food, clothing, accommodation and household expenses. We ask people to give what they can, every dollar will make a difference.”
