Mayor's 2013 Flood Appeal Radiothon
POSTPONED: CROW-FM 90.7 will be holding a radiothon from 8:00am onwards today to raise money for the Mayor's 2013 Flood Appeal. Corky and the crew will be accepting on-air pledges all day. The radiothon is a fundraiser for South Burnett flood victims and is being run in conjunction with the Red Earth Community Foundation, a South Burnett charitable foundation. Alternately - if you'd like to contribute but can't pick up CROW-FM because of your location - you can donate to the Flood Appeal by phoning (07) 4189-9100; over the counter at any SBRC customer service centre; by downloading and returning this donation form; or online through the FRRR's website (make sure you select "South Burnett Red Earth Assistance Fund" from the "FRRR hosted donation accounts" drop-down). All donations are tax-deductible. Note: Today's radiothon has been cancelled because the people who were going to staff the telephones at CROW-FM's offices are flood-bound theselves and can't make it to the station's offices - talk about sharing the pain! The Radiothon will now be held next Sunday, 10 March from 8:00am to 12:00 noon.
