Over $28,000 Raised by Evanov Winnipeg Radio Stations
in Support of Harvest Manitoba

Raising awareness and donations to help combat food insecurity, local radio stations ENERGY 106, HOT 100.5, and 92.7 FM CKJS teamed up with Harvest Manitoba for the annual “Hope for the Holidays” Radiothon.

The Radiothon was broadcast live from Garden City Shopping Centre on Friday, December 12, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. ENERGY 106’s Wheeler in the Morning (Dave Wheeler, Tyler Carr), along with HOT 100.5’s Mark & Dilly in the Morning (Mark Morris, Sean Dilworth), were on the air for twelve hours of music, prizes, auctions, and valuable information on how to donate to Harvest Manitoba.

92.7 FM CKJS programs Good Morning Philippines (Chester Pangan, Donna Natividad-Arenas), Radio Dhamaal (Prachi Saini), and Afternoon Pasada (Lucille Nolasco-Garrido) also supported the Radiothon throughout the day.

Over $28,000 in food and cash were raised during the event, with donations still coming in.

Adam West, Operations Manager, Evanov’s Winnipeg stations cluster, added:

“This year, the need is still urgent—and once again, Manitobans proved what we already know: when our community is asked to help, they show up in a big way. I’m incredibly proud of our on-air, promotions, and behind-the-scenes teams who poured everything into this 12-hour radiothon for Harvest Manitoba.

And the giving doesn’t stop when we sign off—donations typically continue through the holiday stretch, so if you haven’t had a chance yet, please consider contributing today at harvestmanitoba.ca.”
