Christmas FM, which is celebrating its 17th year on air this year, has raised over €3.5 million euro for a range of charities since it began broadcasting.
It will be continuing with the Magic of Christmas Appeal – raising funds for three of Ireland’s leading children’s charities – Barnardos, Barretstown, and Make-A-Wish Ireland, along with a range of children’s charities across Ireland making a difference in local communities through Community Foundation Ireland.
The Magic of Christmas was launched in 2022, with the aim of raising €1,000,000 over a three-year period for the charities. The Magic of Christmas fundraising appeal raised almost €325,000 last year for the charities, with donations raised between 2022 and 2023 totalling €618,706 overall.
Garvan Rigby, co-founder of Christmas FM says: “We are so excited that Christmas FM is back to Switch Christmas On across Ireland for 2024, with the help of third class in St Saviour’s National School, for our 17th year on air. We can’t wait to sprinkle Christmas cheer and joy around the nation all throughout the festive season.
“An Post, Cadbury and Coca Cola have returned as premier FM sponsors for 2024 and The Clayton Hotel, Liffey Valley have also kindly donated their studio space again this year.
“Celebrating 17 years on air is a major milestone for us which we wouldn’t have reached without Coimisiún na Meán and our amazing listeners, fans and volunteers who have supported us and our chosen charities throughout the years.
“We are once again raising funds for The Magic of Christmas appeal, supporting a range of children’s charities across Ireland making a difference in local communities.”
