Movember

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a Mo. That's right I'm putting the Mo back on the face of Australian fashion for a great cause and I need your support.

Movember is a new charity event that raises awareness about male health issues and money for research into Prostate Cancer. Did you know...

Men are twice as likely to die from cancer than women.
Every year in Australia 2600 men die of prostate cancer – more than the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.
Around 10,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in Australian men every year.

To sponsor my Mo please go to www.movember.com.au/sponsor_mo.jsp, enter my Rego number which is 3165 and your credit card details. Proceeds go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia to further research into Prostate Cancer. Donations of more than $2 are tax deductible.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partè where I'll be parading my Mo on the cat walk for a chance to be crowned the Man of Movember. If you want to be part of this great night a $30 sponsorship gets you free entry. All the ticket and gala details are at the Movember website.

Please give so that my Mo may grow!!

More info is available at www.movember.com.au.

Cheers,
Matt

Avignon Day - A Highlight From 97.3FM

Whilst working at 97.3FM recently, Matt Connolly was involved in the Production of “Avignon Day”. This was a fundraising event at Mango Hill (in the North of Brisbane) to raise money for Avignon, a 10 year old girl suffering from Stargardt's Disease, a degenerative eye loss dis-order.

Proceeds raised went to providing Avignon with additional educational equipment to provide a better quality education for her and any other visually impaired students in the future, and also to provide Avignon with as many visual memories as possible before she completely loses her sight.

The fundraising event was a great success. It surpassed the goals of raising money for educational equipment and was a great event for the local community.

In the days leading up to the event, various sweepers advertising the event were produced. These consisted of music, station voice overs and various audio grabs from location interviews and television broadcasts.

Marni T, Terry and Mark, from the 97.3FM breakfast show, broadcast live from the Westfield Northlakes shopping centre. An ISDN feed and Off-air feed were used on the day to record audio grabs from the live broadcast, and produce a “recap” of the mornings fundraising events which was replayed during the day.
