RED FM Fundraiser to help people impacted by Türkiye and Syria earthquake

The people of Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria are facing a catastrophe after massive earthquakes hit both the nations. Death toll has already reached 41,000. Apartment buildings that were once family homes have been reduced to rubble, with volunteers trying desperately to find survivors in below freezing temperatures.

To help those impacted by these catastrophic earthquakes, RED FM is organizing a fundraiser radiothon on Feb 16, from 7 am till 7 pm.  RED FM will designate 100% of the donations to RED Cross Canada. Along with Turkish Red Crescent, RED Cross has mobilized 1,100 personnel to respond to the crisis with food, water, blankets, tents, and psychosocial support, as well as search and rescue.
