3CR’s annual Radiothon fundraiser is on in June and this year we’re celebrating 50 years! We’re aiming to raise $300,000 to keep the station strong and with YOUR help, we know we can. No donation is too small or big, and all donations over $2 are tax deductible. In 2026, 3CR is ‘Celebrating 50 Years’ and we look forward to YOUR donation during June.

Our big birthday event approaches! We're celebrating 50 years on Saturday 4 July 11am-4pm at the Collingwood Town Hall. It’s free and you can RSVP here. There’ll be stalls, music, food, activities, a raffle, posters, photos from across our five decades, and much more! Please share the invitation widely! More details here.

Each year the station holds elections in March, and we’re pleased to introduce this year’s Committee, including new Chairperson, Dr Nat Grant - ‘I’m thrilled and humbled to be able to step into a role of support like this. 3CR has led the way in community-conscious broadcasting for 50 years, and its strength has always come from the people: volunteers, workers, programmers, activists, and communities who believe in independent media as a force for change. To be entrusted with the role of Chair is a great honour and responsibility: helping to ensure that 3CR remains strong, sustainable, and deeply connected to the values that have defined it for decades.’ Full member details online.
