Sam Mac from 92.9fm's breakfast show is raising money for the 92.9 Kids Appeal with Telethon by sitting on a seat at Patersons Stadium for every $1 donated to the cause.
Sam had passed the half way point of 6000 seats by lunch time today (Tuesday, July 19) and will have occupied around 12,000 seats by the end of the challenge.
The West Australian Football Commission and sponsors Patersons Securities and Carlton & United Breweries have each donated $500 to the appeal, adding 1500 seats to Sam's challenge.
92.9 joined forces with Channel Seven’s Telethon for the first time last year to encourage listeners to make a difference to sick kids at all over Perth. The 2010 Appeal raised $130,000 worth of much needed funds for vital life saving equipment at Princess Margaret Hospital.This year’s Appeal promises to be bigger and better with 92.9 breakfast hosts Lisa, Baz and Sam hoping to raise money for equipment at PMH such as wheelchairs, examination couches and vital signs monitors.
It’s hard to believe, but almost 250,000 
children are treated at PMH each year... that’s enough sick kids to fill Patersons Stadium five times over.
Lisa, Baz and Sam along with Telethon are asking for everyone's help to make a difference to sick kids all over Perth.
