JOY Media's Radiothon fundraising for LGBTQIA+ voices on air

JOY Media's Radiothon fundraising for LGBTQIA+ voices on air

JOY Media is holding its annual Radiothon, celebrating 30 years of helping our communities flourish as an Australian LGBTQIA+ community media organisation. They’re asking for your support to help them remain out, loud and proud.

Proudly self-funded, JOY is one of only four such organisations around the world that broadcast 24 hours a day on FM, DAB+, online and in web apps including the JOY app, iHeartRadio and TuneIn.

“Radiothon is our most important event for the year,” JOY’s CEO Isabelle James said.

“I’s a time where everyone gets together to try and raise as much money as we can for our community to keep JOY on our airwaves.

“There’s a bit of a misconceived idea that we have all this money. We’re a not-for-profit charity. But Radiothon is a time where people can feel and be involved with JOY and contribute to make a real difference within their own community by keeping us around.”

Fundraising with flare and pride

Starting on Saturday, JOY Weekend Breakfast hosts Paul Horwell and Ando McDonald were joined by everyone’s favourite weatherman Nate Byrne to kick off a big seven days of fundraising.

“It’s such a huge responsibility, I had mixed emotions about it,” Ando said.

“Sure I was excited, but what if we didn’t get a donation? Or what if we didn’t deliver the dollars that we need to stay on air?

Paul said, “Having Nate here gave us an extra bit of frisson in the studio for Radiothon. People don’t understand that a lot of our income comes from this particular time of year and this fundraising event.

“We are very fortunate to be in the space to be able to make content for our queer community, and we want to carry on doing it.

“I want to say thank you to everyone who’s donated or rejoined their memberships or renewed their memberships so far, because we really do need your support and we really love being here for you.”

Every dollar TOTES counts

While calling out for donations and memberships, this year JOY has also launched a Merch store with tote, bags, fans and more for you to purchase. So if money is tough, those who want to show their pride for the station can do so in other ways.

Founded in 1993 as a response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, JOY has evolved to reflect the growth, diversity and intersectionality of our stories and issues.

The latest season of the grid saw the addition of ‘The I in US’ to JOYs roster, by the Intersex community for the intersex community – a first of its kind.

While some shows have been doing crazy challenges to raise funds or live music acts and celebrities in the studio, ‘The I in Us’ team found that the importance of their show has others stepping up to show their support, with The Snow Foundation matching dollar-for-dollar any donations up to $20,000 during their show at 7pm Wednesday night.

“I am honestly so excited that The Snow Foundation are supporting us and JOY in this way,” ‘The I in Us’ cohost Jason Turner said.

“We recently had a listener in Zambia message us which made Paul and myself so happy. Knowing that our local content about and for the intersex community is going global and reaching so many people is so special.”

But there’s no time to get comfortable

At this morning’s count, the station had raised $131,098 for Radiothon. This is a great start, but the team don’t have time to get complacent. There’s only two and a half days left as they build towards a Mega Friday of fundraising.

“The community has been championing for JOY and getting around us, putting their hands in their pockets and really advocating for their community,” CEO Isabelle James said.

“But we absolutely still need for you to dig deep, contact your friends, family, and reach out and help us. We’re doing our bit for the community, and we’re asking others to do it too.”

JOY Radiothon is running until the June 7, 2024. You can help support JOY by singing to become a member or renewing your membership, donate, or buy JOY merch at joy.org.au/radiothon.

Paralympic champ, 78er among LGBTQIA+ Australia Day Honours

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/paralympic-champ-78er-among-lgbtqia-australia-day-honours/

Paralympic champ, 78er among LGBTQIA+ Australia Day Honours

A 78er, a Paralympic champion, a HIV/AIDS pioneer, and a longtime community volunteer are among the LGBTQIA+ Aussies recognised in the 2024 Australia Day Honours.

More than 1000 people across Australia have been recognised in the 2024 Honours List for their achievements and service to the community.

Robert French (above centre), a 78er and longtime activist and historian, was awarded for his service to Australia’s LGBTQIA+ community.

A passionate historian and archivist, Robert has worked with organisations including C.A.M.P – the Campaign Against Moral Persecution, NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby, ACON and the Pride History Group.

After police violently broke up the first Mardi Gras march in Sydney, Robert protested in Sydney to demand the release of those arrested.

“On the Sunday morning, I remember hearing the news broadcasts on the ABC of the police riot and hearing both the Police Minister and also the NSW Premier trying to justify what the police did and I got very, very angry,” Robert recalled in 2020.

“Although I’d been a member of the gay community right from 1971, I actually date the Mardi Gras and that morning as the point where I actually became an activist.”

Victoria’s Colin Krycer (below) was also awarded for his service to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Colleagues have paid tribute to Colin’s “many years and countless thousands of hours” of volunteer work for people living with HIV/AIDS initially through the Victorian AIDS Council – now Thorne Harbour Health – since the late 1980s.

Colin has also worked with JOY Media since its launch in 1993 and Jewish community group Aleph Melbourne since 1997.

Congratulations to longstanding volunteer Colin Krycer on being awarded the #orderofaustralia – Colin’s volunteering includes @thorneharbour @alephmelbourne @joy949 and many other community orgs. Well deserved Colin! https://t.co/FnMkoaCqDP pic.twitter.com/vNWmwkmFvJ

— Thorne Harbour Health (@ThorneHarbour) January 25, 2024

“We are so proud of our Colin,” Aleph Melbourne co-convener Michael Barnett said.

“He is a quiet, behind-the-scenes kinda guy. He doesn’t seek or want attention, and just gives of himself, tirelessly.

“Thank you Colin for your commitment, passion, enthusiasm, guidance and sense of humour. We are so much richer for what you do and who you are.”

Australian paralympic champion Ellie Cole also received a Member of the Order of Australia (AM).

In 2021, the queer athlete became Australia’s most decorated female Paralympian, winning 17 Paralympic medals.

Ellie was awarded for her “significant service to sport as an advocate for diversity and inclusion” of Australians with a disability.

“If we can just make small changes throughout our community, and they can have access to anything that they like, the same opportunities as all of their peers, then do they actually have a disability? I’m always asking myself that question,” she told the Guardian in 2021.

Among the medical professionals awarded Australia Day Honours this year are a number of HIV researchers.

Professor Julian Gold was awarded “for significant service to medicine as a clinical epidemiologist and researcher, and to community health” including Australians living with HIV.

Professor Gold was appointed to Australia’s National AIDS Taskforce in 1982. A few years later, he established the first public HIV testing centre, now called The Albion Centre in Surry Hills.

Governor-General David Hurley today congratulated all of the recipients.

“Recipients come from all parts of the country. They have served and had an impact in just about every field you can imagine; their stories and backgrounds are diverse.

“We value their service, thank them for their hard work and selflessness and, today, celebrate them.

“To each recipient: know that you have the thanks and respect of your nation.

“In my experience most are humble and often try to deflect attention or praise – please enjoy the moment because your country has decided that you deserve recognition.”

@the_sixth_dimension_podcast: Here’s some old photos I took from back in 2014 when I was a volunteer @joy949 . It was for an interview that my pal Sonja did with Taika Waititi for What We Do In The Shadows. I technically’directed’ him because for the third photo I told him to pretend as though he was going to kick my ass if I don’t get the camera out of his face. You can see him changing characteristics in the second photo to get to the eventual emotions needed to manifest the photo. He did a great job, would hire again! 10/10! #taikawaititi #joy949 #scifiandsqueam
