Your donation directly impacts children by helping grant their wishes.
All proceeds from the rewind 89.3 Radiothon support Make-A-Wish right here in Nova Scotia.
Rewind 89.3’s 9th Annual Make-A-Wish Radiothon is happening Thursday, June 12, 2025, from 6 AM to 4 PM — live on-air and online at rewind893.ca. Tune in throughout the day to hear inspiring stories, meet surprise in-studio guests, and learn how your support is making a difference for local children awaiting their wishes. The day will also feature an exciting online auction hosted on the Rewind 89.3 Facebook page, with fantastic local items up for bid all week long. From 2 PM to 4 PM, families are invited to our Kids’ Corner in the Rewind parking lot for an afternoon of fun, including a bouncy castle, monster truck and go-karts, face painting, crafts, bracelet making, a fire truck visit, BBQ by Sobey’s, freezies, and more! Every dollar raised during the Radiothon helps grant life-changing wishes for children in Nova Scotia — bringing joy, strength, and hope when it’s needed most.
Cole's Story
Cole's Story
We hold the Radiothon on the second Thursday of June each year on a day that is now proclaimed Cole Wittenberg Day in The Municipality of the County of Kings. Cole, at age 4.5, was to be the honourary co-host of our first Radiothon. Cole passed away shortly before the Radiothon and always was and still is a big source of inspiration for why we hold this fundraiser each year. Cole’s family have volunteered at each Radiothon and are incredible supporters of Make-a-Wish (formerly known as Children’s Wish) and other Wish Kid families. Cole was granted his wish to visit Disney World. He spread joy to ever person he met. We were fortunate to have Cole visit the our studio and share some of his joy with us. Cole was the biggest fan of Ninja Turtles and he was a real life Ninja Turtle superhero.
We have named an annual Volunteer Appreciation Award in Cole’s name that is awarded to an outstanding and dedicated Make-a-Wish volunteer. We’ll announce this year’s recipient during the Radiothon broadcast.
