Brisbane Triple M gives a buck for Caboolture

Because the State Government closed the Caboolture hospital and the emergency ward last month, leaving the region without any emergency medical services, Triple M’s The Cage have launched ‘Dollars for Doctors – Give a Buck for Caboolture.’

Triple M’s Ian Skippen told radioinfo: “The pledge program is dedicated to helping our listeners in Caboolture and this may take one of many forms – it may mean funding a tourism marketing campaign, as suggested by the Premier on air two weeks ago, or it may mean contributing to a childcare program for doctors in the area. The people in this region are crying out for someone to fly the flag for them and we are simply being that white knight that Caboolture so desperately needs right now.”

The goodwill pledge program initially raised in excess of $13,000 in just four hours from listeners ready to help the people of Caboolture in realising their medical service needs.
