24 Hour Challenge

Monday, August 9th, 2010

In 2008, an ambitious fundraising event was held in order to raise money for Radio Northwick Park; a team of three volunteers broadcast a show for 24 hours straight for our 24 Hour Challenge! Now, in 2010, it’s happening all over again; but this time, it’s even bigger!

Starting at 10pm on Friday 20th August, four presenters will be locked into the Radio Northwick Park studio for an entire day – broadcasting live, and uninterrupted for 24 hours. But the challenge doesn’t finish when they do; at 10pm on Saturday ANOTHER team of four take over the reigns, to broadcast for ANOTHER unbroken 24 hours. It’s 48 hours of live radio, in:

THE 24 HOUR CHALLENGE – SATURDAY VS SUNDAY!

But who wins? YOU decide! Team Saturday and Team Sunday are both trying to raise as much support for themselves as possible – and whoever manages to raise the most money shall be declared the winner! All of the proceeds will be going towards improving the service that Radio Northwick Park provides through the building of a new studio.

You can pledge your support to either Team Saturday or Team Sunday at their Just Giving pages:
