Australia’s leading media companies have come together in the hope of raising over $700,000 for youth charities.
One million dollars of advertising across all media platforms will go under the hammer at Media Assisting Youth’s annual MAYDAY event on Wednesday night. Ninemsn will donate to the cause, with other supporters including ACP Magazines, Austereo Radio Network and all free-to-air commercial television networks. Comedian and Gruen Transfer host Wil Anderson will host the event, which will be held at the Hemmesphere bar in Sydney’s CBD.
Four Charities — Youth Off The Streets, Musicians Making A Difference, KidsXpress and Newpin — will be the beneficiaries of the auction.
