Donations for the 23rd Radiomarathon for children with special needs, the biggest charity event on the island, which ended at midnight last night, have exceeded one million euro, organizers have said.
Under the motto “Only Love Can”, this year’s Radiomarathon raised over 1.200 million euros.
A total of 39 kiosks operated in every town of the southern government controlled part of the country for donations and 14 piggy-bank cars toured to collect money.
Radiomarathon President, First Lady, Elsi Christofia said that the annual charity event proved that social solidarity comes naturally from Cypriots and it gives hope for the future.
Organised by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation and the Popular Bank, Radiomarathon is held annually with events taking place across the island and culminating with the big Radiomarathon event.
