    Posted by Rob on February 18th, 2011

    Fundrive is in high gear! We had some of our biggest shows ever today, rocketing the drive past $40,000.

    We still need at least $10,000 to reach our goal and keep listener driven radio vibrant! There are a lot of great shows ahead and we need you to consider how much CKUW means to you and to our city. Pledging online is easy or you can call 774-6877 and make your donation by phone. Pledges can be paid immediately or large donations can be split up using our payment plan. We need your help so we make it easy to give.

    If you’ve already pledged, thank you so much! Pledges can be paid in person at the U of W Info Booth in Centennial Hall. The booth is open until 6pm on Friday and will reopen on Tuesday (after Loius Riel Day) to take your donations.

    We’ve passed $30,000 in pledged support for Listener Driven Radio but we need more donations to hit our goal.

    Our goal of $50,000 is the minimum we need to meet our budget and keep CKUW operating at the same level. We don’t want to cut any of our great services or compromise our programming so we need you to make a pledge now. Any level is welcome, but the more you give, the more you can get!
