99.3 CountyFM, Prince Edward County's community radio station announces Adam Busscher and Family as Honourary Chairs of RADIOTHON 2023.
RADIOTHON 2023 returns May 25-28th, packed with live performances featuring more than 45 local musicians.
The annual Radiothon raises funds to keep the non-profit, volunteer-driven, community radio station on-air. More than one third of the station's annual income comes from donations and grants. The event this year will celebrate the return of all live performances by local musicians from the CountyFM studios on Cold Storage Road throughout the four day Radiothon event.
Adam Busscher, Honourary Chair for Radiothon 2023, stated "At Picton Home Hardware we've been happy to support CountyFM from the very earliest days, even before the station went on the air back in 2014. I'm very pleased, on behalf of my family and our business, to serve as Honourary Chair for Radiothon 2023. CountyFM brings our many communities together and is an essential service for individuals, community groups and businesses alike. I urge everyone to join us in supporting 99.3 CountyFM, the Voice of the County, in Radiothon 2023."
CountyFM Board Chair JJ Johnston stated "The Busscher family's commitment to the County is seen daily by their generous support of so many community events and causes. We're thrilled that Adam Busscher and Family is Honourary Chair for Radiothon 2023, and that we can continue our remarkable partnership."
Station General Manager Craig Mills stated "This is the one critical time of year where we ask for direct support from our beloved listeners, businesses, and the community at large. We are grateful for the contributions to help us bridge the funding gap so we can continue to connect the County. We have had another wonderful year with the unwavering commitment of our 108 volunteers and small but mighty staff."
Megan Hutton is again coordinating all of the musicians who are incredibly kind to volunteer their talents. Stay tuned for a May 1st announcement on the full line up. You won't be disappointed.
