2GB Sydney and St Vincent de Paul Society NSW have teamed again for their Christmas Radiothon this Wednesday December 11, raising funds for families facing challenges this holiday season. The Vinnies Christmas Radiothon has already raised $300,000 over the last two years.

Throughout the day from Ben Fordham in Breakfast, to Ray Hadley in his last week on Mornings, Michael McLaren in Afternoons and Chris O’Keefe in Drive, the station and staff will showcase and support the life-changing work of Vinnies.

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.”
