BRONZE
Cash for Kids 2005
Special thanks: for the generosity and support of our listeners

"One of the things which struck the judges about this entry was the sheer amount of money raised by "Cash for Kids". Charity appeals have been central to commercial radio’s social action output since its inception, and this campaign shows that they can still be done with enthusiasm and passion. The range of messages carried by the appeal was considerable, and the audience responded."
