92.5 Gold FM has raised $140,059 during their Give Me 5 for Kids charity initiative in 2015.
With key fundraising events including a car wash at Harbour Town and Spida’s Ride from Gladstone to the Gold Coast on a bicycle, plus generous community donations, they were able to demonstrate our support for the children’s wards at the Gold Coast University Hospital and Tweed Hospital.
This year, they hope to provide a C-Mac Laryngoscopy Unit, Medical Baby Warmers, a Paediatric Monitor with Telemetry, Drager Jaundice Meters and an overnight Oximetry for the children’s wards, also making a valuable contribution to the broader Give Me 5 for Kids 2015 campaign, which each year, aims to support the hospitals that care for children throughout regional Australia.
92.5 Gold FM’s involvement in the Give Me 5 for Kids fundraiser is part of parent company Southern Cross Austereo’s (SCA) campaign, which launched in the mid 90s as a simple coin drive. Since then, the appeal has raised more than $14 million nationally, benefiting over 40 children’s hospital wards by utilising our local radio and TV stations.
It is rolled out in June each year.
