Athlone Community Radio raises €6,500

A recent 36-hour marathon broadcast by Athlone Community Radio raised a massive €6,500 for Midland Simon Community. The local charity and Athlone Community Radio, a not-for-profit organisation, would like to thank the people of Athlone who sponsored the continuous 36-hour broadcast. An amazing €6,500 was raised due to the generosity of the local business community. A big thank you to all of the sellers and presenters who helped make the marathon broadcast such a success. The cheque for €6,500 was recently presented by Deirdre Hunt, Marketing Officer of Athlone Community Radio to Mary Doyle, Board Member of the Midlands Simon Community, both of whom were joined by volunteers for the occasion of the cheque handover.
