Radiomarathon Christmas Card competition 2007 - NSW winner receives prize
The Radiomarathon Christmas Card Drawing Competition has once again attracted unprecedented participation from over 40 schools in NSW, Victoria and South Australia.
The Christmas card competition is an annual event organised under the umbrella of Radiomarathon- a charity to raise funds for kids with special needs. In 2007, hundreds of children aged between 5-12 years entered their original drawings into the competition.
Chairman of the Radiomarathon Trust, and General Manager of Laiki Bank, Michalis Athanasiou said, “the Christmas card competition gives a true meaning to the objectives of Radiomarathon, by giving kids as young as five years old a chance to help other kids who are not as fortunate as they are. With the help of teachers and parents these children learn that their small efforts are a genuine contribution towards a much bigger cause.”
The three state winners for 2007 are George Kotsiaris from Dulwich Hill Public School, Sydney (NSW), Natalia Christou from Sunshine School, Melbourne (VIC) and Elana Andonis for St George College, Adeaide (SA).
On Friday, 28th of September Spiro Kanellakis, Marketing Manager of Laiki Bank, presented the winner of NSW, George Kotsiaris, with a certificate of achievement, $300 book voucher, and a framed print of his winning drawing at a special school assembly at Dulwich Public School in Sydney.
Mr Kanellakis said, “I am delighted to be here today, amongst all these talented kids and I would like to congratulate George for his winning entry. I would also like to thank the teachers and parents for taking part in the drawing competition and enabling the students of Dulwich Hill to give hope to other kids who have special needs and need our support. ”
