3CR Radiothon

In this federal election year, 3CR Community Radio will be asking you to make a political donation that matters. As the two major political parties slug it out - the choice is clear – a donation to 3CR is a vote for 3CR’s progressive alternative coverage of social, cultural and political issues.
