Members of the public and GoodHope FM listeners can spread the word and challenge friends, family, colleagues, or even your competition to match or beat your donation, using the hash tag #GoodHopeFMKCTW24 Good Hope FM\u2019s acting Business Manager, Michael Bossenger, says, \u201cGood Hope FM is about so much more than award-winning radio. We are absolutely committed to assisting communities who are in dire need and making a practical difference across our listener base, especially during the winter chill where too many are left without even the most basic necessities. We strongly encourage the people of Cape Town, our business partners and the business community at large to jump in and do whatever they can to help.\u201d
\nCommunity Chest\u2019s Interim CEO Peter Heeger commented, \u201cCommunity Chest is thrilled to be associated with Keep Cape Town Warm. This campaign, which has been running for more than 30 years, serves as a ray of hope for vulnerable and underprivileged people in our city. We know the conditions that the people of Cape Town endure during the harsh winter months, and we continue to work to eradicate poverty through our programmes and projects. Keep Cape Town Warm is a highlight in our calendar, as it allows ordinary citizens to show that they care. We appeal to all Capetonians to again support this wonderful initiative, and we challenge businesses to get involved by both giving and collecting among their staff and then doing drop-offs at the nearest Good Hope FM outside broadcast.\u201d
\nUpdates on the progress of the campaign will be aired daily on Good Hope FM.<\/p>\n
