Serious Request
Serious Request is a benefit event hosted the week before Christmas each year by Dutch radio station 3FM. The project, begun in 2004, collects money for Red Cross initiatives. During 3FM Serious Request three DJs live in a glass house for six days (five days the first year) on a juice-only fast. They broadcast on the radio throughout the whole 6 days but it's also being transmitted on television. For the first three years, the house was at Neude in Utrecht.
Since 2007, the location of the house has changed each year; in 2011, it was located in Leiden. While the DJs are in residence, they play songs requested by internet-based listeners or visitors. When requesting a song, listeners are expected to donate money to the project; Dutch celebrities also donate money and auction their possessions. The Serious Request project has also been adopted by Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Kenya and South Korea.

Request on Tour 2003
Request on Tour preceded Serious Request. During the last three days of 2003, a "request bus" toured the country to collect money for Villa Pardoes (part of the Efteling, a resort for children with life-threatening illnesses) by playing requested songs in exchange for donations. A total of €16,000 was collected that year.
Serious Request 2004
Theme – Jouw druppel op een gloeiende plaat
DJs Rob Stenders and Ruud de Wild left 3FM in 2004, and were replaced by Giel Beelen and Wouter van der Goes. During the interim, station manager Florent Luyckx considered a change in programming to shore up ratings. When the Beslan school hostage crisis ended, the station wanted to aid the victims and their relatives; however, the humanitarian organisation handling the crisis declined their offer. When the station approached the Red Cross, they were told that help was needed in areas not prominent in the news (such as the situation in Darfur, subject of the first Serious Request Project from 20–24 December 2004. Wouter van der Goes, Claudia de Breij and Giel Beelen lived in the house for five days, airing the appeal 24 hours a day and fasting in solidarity with those in Darfur. The show collected €916,000, and received the 2004–05 Marconi Award for best radio program. That year's theme song was "Galvanize" by the Chemical Brothers.

Between 19 and 24 December 2005, another glass house was built at the Neude in Utrecht. That year's DJs were Giel Beelen, Gerard Ekdom and Wouter van der Goes. Money was collected for children in the Republic of the Congo, raising a total of €2,203,549 (including €1,000,000 donated by the Dutch government). The appeal received the 2006 Gouden Radio-Oortje for best radio program of the year. That year's theme was "Multiply" by Jamie Lidell.

In Belgium, a second glass house was built in Leuven; the DJs living there were Peter Van de Veire, Tomas De Soete and Christophe Lambrecht. After six days €2,419,426 was raised, with €200,000 from the Flemish Government and twice as much from the Federal government; this brought the total for both appeals to €5,067,921.
Walkathon

Safe drinking water was chosen as the cause for 2007. The appeal was opened on 19 December 2007 by Prince Willem-Alexander.[3] The Dutch government announced that instead of donating €1,000,000 (as it had in previous years), it would match the amount of money collected from the public.[4] The theme song for 2007 was "Let's Dance to Joy Division" by The Wombats.
