Christmas FM, the much-loved festive music station that raises funds for charity and switches Christmas on across Ireland every year, will be running its annual Donation Day on Wednesday, December 20th to raise funds for The Magic of Christmas appeal.
The Magic of Christmas appeal is a not-for-profit fundraising initiative that raises funds for Barnardos, Barretstown, Make-A-Wish Ireland and a range of children’s charities around Ireland, making a difference in local communities through Community Foundation Ireland.
Last year, The Magic of Christmas appeal raised almost €300,000 for the charities and the fundraising initiative is hoping to raise over €1,000,000 between 2022 – 2024 for Ireland’s Children’s charities and to maximise the impact of the funds raised by helping more children in need.
During the 12 hour long festive radiothon from 7am–7pm on Wednesday, 20th December, Christmas FM will be asking you to help Give the Gift of Childhood to 5,000 children who need it most, because every child deserves Magic at Christmas. Donations can be made through www.christmasfm.com or by calling 0818 911 977.
The funds raised will go directly towards helping vulnerable children in our communities affected by traumatic life events such as poverty, abuse, neglect and bereavement, and to supporting children whose lives are affected by serious childhood illness.
By donating to The Magic of Christmas, you will give the gift of childhood to 5,000 children who need it most, because every child deserves Magic at Christmas.
