The annual JOY 94.9 Radiothon is back from 3 June to strengthen the voice of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) communities across Australia.

JOY’s Radiothon is the station’s primary fundraising activity and is responsible for keeping LGBTI voice OUT, LOUD and PROUD. Listeners will be encouraged to support JOY by signing up or renewing their membership and by giving donations to Australia’s only LGBTI community radio station.

During Radiothon, you can expect to hear a lot of diverse voices and stories of how JOY strengthens the voice of your community and why you should get OUT, LOUD and PROUD with us over the coming weeks.

JOY is a fully independent, non-profit community radio station that receives no government funding. The only way JOY remains OUT, LOUD, and PROUD is with your membership and donations.

For the eighth year in a row, proud JOY Patrons and long term supporters, Gary Singer and Geoffrey Smith will once again draw on the communities’ strength with the Hour of Power, their dollar-for-dollar donation program on Friday 10 June from 7:30am with breakfast hosts Anna and Dean from Murphys Law. Last year, Gary and Geoffrey raised over $96,000 for JOY in an hour and this year we’re aiming for $120,000! If you can’t donate on the morning, JOY is also happy to receive your pledged donations beforehand, email fundraising@joy.org.au to find out how. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and just in time for the end of financial year.

To top it all off, we’re thrilled to announce our Radiothon MAJOR PRIZE is a 2015 Holden Spark LS including all on-road cost, valued at $16,690 from our friends at GM Holden. Sign up or renew your membership before June 30 for your chance to win. There will also be daily prizes available throughout the week just for sharing your JOY with family or friends online. All you have to do is tag @JOY949 with a friend on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and ask them to strengthen the voice of your community.

Get OUT, LOUD and PROUD this Radiothon. There’s never been a more important time to strengthen the voice of your community. Sign up or renew a membership or donate to JOY today.

The JOY Radiothon OUT, LOUD, PROUD runs from 3 June till 10 June.
