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; it took place on Friday 22nd May.
A huge thank you to all of the businesses in the area who dontated items for auction and helped make this years event bigger and better than ever!
Follett Stock Solicitors also joined in the fun with their convoy, led by their Smart Car, which drove around Cornwall and West Devon collecting cash from some of the areas top firms.
Specsavers stores across the area joined in too, running a Pirate themed day, with raffles and donation buckets and all their staff dressed as Pirates.
Cash raised by the on air auction was an amazing £10,228
We are still waiting for Follett Stock and Specsavers to count their cash, so we will add it to the total as soon as we know!
