Go Green-o-thon with your favourite RJs – 92.7 BIG FM

India’s leading private radio FM network 92.7 BIG FM and Avon cycles have joined hands and taken an initiative to make the city green, by following it themselves, and are all set to start a mega cycling event across the country: AVON BIG Greenothon.

This campaign has been launched in 45 cities all across the country. This event will appeal all the Indians to go green and save the environment.

“The Greenothon will engage the citizens of India to one unique pledge to cycle to work at least once a week,” said the 92.7 BIG FM statement.
In Udaipur, our own morning RJ Pradeep Pandey has consented and promised the Udaipies to go eco-friendly, and reach the Big office and then our radio sets by using the non polluting two wheeler-bicycle.

For the great cause, the sponsors Avon cycles have provided our favourite Big RJ with Avon Jockey, a cool new launch by Avon cycles Pvt. Ltd.

“Soon after the Greenothon, one lucky listener from Udaipur would be selected and would stand to win an AVON JOCKEY bicycle! – autographed by the RJ,” the company handout said. The Avon Jockey, is worth Rs 10,000. The bicycle will be put to display at OMG, RK Mall.

AVON CYCLE – JOCKEY

All you have to do is follow the simple procedure:-

One lucky winner with the highest messages will be getting an Avon Jockey.
