A new twist on radiothons - Cox Media Group Online Radiothon for Ronald McDonald Houses of Orlando


Many nonprofits raise money through radiothons. Most of the time this involves a defined block of radio time (typically a day or two) where DJs exclusively discuss the charity and how people can give. One of our clients, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida, is trying a new twist on the radiothon concept this year.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida has teamed with Cox Media to do an online radiothon. Through various promotions and announcements, over a three week period, radio listeners are directed to the radio station web site to learn more about and to give to Ronald McDonald House. Links are provided from the radio station to the Ronald McDonald House web site where donors can make an online donation.  

We were happy to build a custom donation form for RMHCCF just for this event. We're curious how this model will work for RMHCCF compared to traditional radiothons they have done in the past. 

 Ronald McDonald House provides a “home-away-from-home” that offers comfort and care to families with seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment at local hospitals and medical facilities in Orlando.
