Our spring on-air fund drive has come to a close. We are tired, but very humble and grateful for all the love and support our listeners have shown us this week. Thanks to your generous donations, we have raised over $227,000 to help keep us afloat for another six months.It's always a homecoming of sorts, as some of our long-time phone volunteers return and new ones join the family. And we loved hearing from so many of our loyal listeners as they called in to donate to keep this independent radio station independent. We can't thank you enough.If you missed your opportunity to donate during our on-air campaign, please consider donating now by clicking on the red Donate button at the top of this page.
