Could We Finish the Fundraiser in 48 Hours?

Matt Markgraf, WKMS

It's been quite a week. In the past 5 days, you've raised over $100,000 for WKMS programming!

That means we're less than $23,000 away from meeting our goal for necessary broadcast expenses and ending this entire fundraiser.

So we think you've earned a little break. We'll be going silent today, giving you your Sunday programs free of interruption. 

But that doesn't mean there's still not work to do. If we could raise $5,000 today via the web, it's possible we could finish the drive tomorrow. If you haven't yet given, now would be an amazing time to do your part. 

And as a little something extra, we'll be drawing for a Kindle for all those who give or enter via the web today. Sustainers, don't worry, you're already in the drawing. (See contest rules)

Thank you for helping us get this far this fast! We've only got about 18% more of the way to go. Let's make quick work of it and get back to what you tune in for. Thank you!

Update: The winner of our Kindle drawing will be announced during Morning Edition on Monday, September 28. Thank you to all who participated!

YES! I want to give now
