What is Radiomarathon?

Radiomarathon is an annual fundraiser that brings together the community for the benefit
of children with special needs. The Radiomarathon effort began in 1990 in Cyprus when Laiki Group joined the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation to begin a fundraising drive called Radiomarathon.

Today fundraising activities for Radiomarathon take place simultaneously in Cyprus, Greece, UK, Australia. It has grown to be one of the largest Greek-speaking charitable initiatives of its kind worldwide with 100% of all monies raised going directly towards hospital units, special schools and organisations who take on the challenge and rewarding task of helping and caring for children with special needs.

The Louis Phaethon Bowling Club (LPBC) Radiomarathon Charity Fun day took place on Sunday 18th October within the grounds of the Louis Phaethon Hotel, Paphos. There was a Fancy Dress game of Bowls on the green between the LPBC and a Select team formed by players from the Aliathon, Aphrodite and Coral Bay bowling clubs. There were also a number of stalls, manned by LPBC members and friends, including Arts and crafts, books and a Tombola.

Roger Shire, Captain of the LPBC, said," May I say a very big thank you to all the LPBC members who helped in today's Radiomarathon children's charity day, to the members of the other Cyprus bowling clubs for their assistance and participation and to all those who made the effort to turn up and support the event.

Together we raised TWO THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE EUROS for the children of Cyprus with special needs. It was a wonderful effort and one that was much appreciated, not only by the Management of the Louis Phaethon Hotel, but also by the organisers of the Radiomarathon event who came along, were much impressed, and have asked to combine efforts for a mammoth event next year.

To all the stall holders, who worked their socks off, the general helpers, the "loose change" collectors and Tumbles, our own professional clown who kept us entertained through the day - a big big thank you, and hope to see you all again next year."
