Pirate FM Radiothon
As part of our fundraising programme, each year we hold an on-air auction called Radiothon in order to raise funds for the Pirate Trust; during 2009 this will be taking place on Friday 22nd May.
In order to achieve our goal, we are hoping to make this year's Radiothon even bigger and better than ever by auctioning off as many high value or ‘money can't buy' prizes as possible.
If you believe you can help, please download the gift donation form for 2009's Radiothon and return this to Pirate FM, Carn Brea Studio's, Wilson Way, Redruth TR15 3XX.
