NOS Nieuws•gisteren, 21:47
After the first day of NPO 3FM’s Serious Request fundraising campaign, the counter stood at 791,646 euros, the radio station announced this evening. That amount is twice as high as the past five years.
The last time a comparable amount was raised was in Apeldoorn in 2017, when more than nine thousand euros was raised. Last year, after one day of action, the counter stood at 403,112 euros.
The most requested record to date Tonight van de Nederlandse band Son Mieux.
Proceeds to the ALS Foundation
This year, NPO 3FM DJs Barend van Deelen, Sophie Hijlkema and Wijnand Speelman are locked up in Het Glazen Huis on the Grote Markt in Nijmegen.
With the Serious Request campaign they raise money for the ALS Foundation. This is a foundation that is committed to more scientific research into the cause and treatment of the fatal muscle and nerve disease ALS.
The radio DJs stay in Het Glazen Huis for a week and play songs for a fee. The three are not allowed to eat or use their phones for a week.
On Christmas Eve, the three DJs come out again and it is announced how much the campaign has raised. Last year that was 2.3 million euros, which went to the Forgotten Child Foundation.
