Radio station Christmas FM has again signed up An Post, Cadbury and Coca-Cola this year as sponsors. The FM station return to the airwaves later this month for its 17th year. A competition open to Irish businesses big and small offers the opportunity to win a digital sponsorship package for Christmas FM worth €5,000 to promote themselves this festive season. Last year, Tinney’s Toys in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, was the prizewinner.
The station’s Magic of Christmas Appeal raises funds for Barnardos, Barretstown, and Make-A-Wish Ireland, along with other children’s charities across the country, supporting local communities through Community Foundation Ireland (CFI). The appeal was launched two years ago, with the aim of raising a million euro over a three-year period. Almost €325,000 was raised last year, with overall donations now totalling €618,706.
