Radiomarathon 2007 is getting ready for two of its most exciting nights of fundraising events in Sydney and Melbourne- complete with breathtaking acrobatics acts, exotic belly dancers and rock and roll!
Radiomarathon is an annual charity event for children with special needs, organised by Laiki Bank Australia. The bank covers 100% of the administrative costs thus ensuring maximum proceeds go to the charity.
The Melbourne ball is being held on 13th of October at Grand Hyatt Melbourne and the Sydney Ball is on the 26th of October at Le Montage Sydney. The events are eagerly awaited by supporters and past guests who enjoy the great atmosphere and entertainment, main and silent auction items along with fantastic food.
“What makes these events so special is that they are always such fabulous evenings with lots of fun and great auction items to bid on, but the best part is that by attending, you are helping kids with special needs”, said Michalis Athanasiou, chairman of Radiomarathon trust.
In it’s 11h year running in Australia Radiomarathon has succeeded in providing much needed financial support towards helping children with severe physical and mental disabilities, cancer, thalassaemia, diabetes, hearing difficulties, eye problems, leukaemia, autism, epilepsy as well as children’s hospital which deal with a variety of more obscure problems.
