The announcement:
Nova’s ‘Bids for Sick Kids’ – Silent Auction for the 2019 Nine Telethon
This morning, Monday 28 October 2019, Nova 106.9 launched their second Nova’s Bids to Help Sick Kids, a silent auction to raise funds for children in need for the 2019 Nine Telethon with a live broadcast from the Qld Children’s Hospital.
In a partnership with Nine Queensland and the Children’s Hospital Foundation Queensland, Nova 106.9 is not only the exclusive radio partner of the event, but is also a major fundraising driver for the campaign.
Last year Nova raised $77,383.
Bids can now be made on the silent auction website www.novabids.com.au. All proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Hospital Foundation by Nova’s Ash, Kip, Luttsy and Susie, on the night of the 2019 Nine Telethon, Saturday, November 16.
The silent auction items include a Hyundai Kona Active and much more.
Bidding for a range of generous prizes closes at 4pm on Friday 15 November 2019. Nine Queensland Managing Director, Kylie Blucher, said: “Nova’s Bids to Help Sick Kids is a fantastic initiative to raise funds for such an important cause. We are thrilled to partner again with Nova and the Children’s Hospital Foundation to strengthen donations for the 2019 Nine Queensland Telethon.”
Jay Walkerden, Nova Brisbane’s Program Director, said: “It’s a humbling and inspiring opportunity to be involved in this community event which benefits Queensland families facing some pretty tough challenges, our Children’s Hospital, and the incredible people who work there.
“We’re looking forward to playing our part in helping Nine to raise as much money as possible for the Children’s Hospital Foundation and supporting Queensland families when they need it most.”
Rosie Simpson, the Children’s Hospital Foundation Queensland Chief Executive Officer, said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Nova 106.9 again in 2019 for the second Nova’s Bids to Help Sick Kids.
“It’s the support of partners like Nova that allows us to keep working wonders for Queensland’s sickest kids and their families. Together, we can help give all Queensland children the best care, treatments and outcomes.
“I am looking forward to seeing Queenslanders come together for Nova’s Bids to Help Sick Kids, and we can’t wait to see the final result on Telethon night.”
