Sydney businessman gifts half a million dollars for Kyle & Jackie O listeners
Reporter
Today on the Kyle & Jackie O Show, the duo announced they’ll be giving away half a million dollars, thanks to businessman John and his wife Joanne, who’ve offered part of their family fortune to help KIIS listeners in need.
During a time where so many Australians are struggling, the recently retired Sydney based couple has donated $500,000 to Kyle & Jackie O, who will distribute the money to listeners of the show who could do with a helping hand.
They have long been involved in charity work, giving back to the community through fundraising initiatives and donations. Late last year they announced The Miracle Millions, a charitable initiative aiming to donate one Million Dollars to assist individuals and families struggling with health and disability needs.
To nominate someone struggling, KIIS listeners can contact The Kyle & Jackie O Show and share their story on how some extra money could really help the situation of either themselves personally or someone they know.
The money will be continuously donated over several months across the show.
John said “Basically, Joanne and I, we worked very hard all these years, and we’ve always been a little bit frugal with our money.”
“We decided it’s time that we give back. We’ve always given back. But now we just noticed there’s a lot of struggles out there. It really hurts me when people, mothers and fathers working two jobs to try and get ahead.”
Melbourne businesses defect to Nova 100 to listen to Jason and Lauren on Friday and everyone who listens to kiss. Will be listening to Nova 100 in Roman.
