The Canberra Day Appeal has now concluded and Radio 1RPH has smashed through the target of $10,000. While we won’t win the highest dollars donated or biggest community support, we are in the top 10 on both of those leader boards.
Radio 1RPH volunteer readers and presenters joined guides and runners from the Achilles Running Club to walk or run around Lake Burley Griffin on Canberra Day. It was a sterling effort for some of the Achilles runners who had backed up from the Orange Running Festival the day before, some of them sporting some bright red sunburn but looking stunning in their sunflower tights.
Thank you, Canberra! The #HandsUp4CBR Giving Day has come to an end and we raised a total of $7,601.
From our entire team, thank you to everyone who made a donation and especially Talkforce Media whose generous support gave our appeal an initial impetus. To all our donors, your continued support with fundraising and sharing updates about the Canberra Day Appeal made a huge difference!
It has also been a pleasure working with some of the other charities taking part in the appeal to tell their stories, broadcast and podcast from Radio 1RPH.
