This year’s i98FM Illawarra Convoy has raised a staggering total of $2,078,718.95

Convoy Manager, Mark Rigby, announced the final figure raised from the event live this morning in the Breakfast Show with Marty, Christian & Bella.

Rigby says, “The generosity from the Illawarra continues to amaze me each and every year. While so many families are doing it tough at the moment, they still manage to give generously to help those who are going through the unimaginable. It is why we continue to do what we do, and it’s wonderful to see the smiling faces on our Convoy families, who treat this day as their Christmas each year.”

 i98FM’s Marty Haynes says, “It was an extremely difficult decision to make, however the health and safety of the public, our Convoy families, artists, staff and volunteers is paramount. Our goal has always been for Convoy to be an event that helps others, and we pride ourselves on that.  

“Under the circumstances we found ourselves in on Sunday, our values of putting the community first ultimately dictated the decision to call the Fun Day off. We will be back bigger and better in 2023 and are so proud of the generosity of our amazing Community. 

Since 2005, Convoy has raised a total of $22,341,616.95. All funds raised will go directly to the Illawarra Community Foundation which helps families affected by life threatening illnesses.
