ImageEntering its 11th year, the Rotary Club, in partnership with NADY, will be holding its radio-a-thon to raise much needed funds in support of local children and youth with special needs.

 

The longest morning, with EZ Rock hosts Kevin and Big Mike, will be broadcast live from the Sears Court at Northgate Shopping Centre, starting at 5:30 am on Wednesday, April 3rd and wrap-up with a final morning show breakfast at Burger World on Hammond Street on April 5th, from 7-10 am.

Pledges can be made online anytime at www.rotary4kids.ca  or during the 53 hour show by telephone at 705-492-7330.

Since its inception, the radio-a-thon has raised over $560,000 that has gone towards numerous Rotary Children’s Committee projects - from special bicycles, lifts, computers, kid’s bridge club, communication aids, home renovations, to elevator systems and vehicle conversions.  The committee also provides approximately $30,000 funding on an annual basis to NADY.  

The success of this fundraiser would not be possible without the very generous support of individuals and families, and some many organizations and businesses, both large and small, in our community.
