Because of our generous listeners, we were able to raise more than $170,000 during our eight-day on-air fall fundraiser. Many of you made your donations through the mail before the start of the on-air drive, adding an additional $90,000+ to the total. Thank you.
The drive got off to a good start the first Thursday, when we tried to raise an entire day's worth of money in just one hour of Morning Edition. We underestimated the response, and were able to raise just over $24,000 in only 60 minutes! Thanks for helping us bring you more programming with less on-air fundraising.
You helped us reach hourly goals, daily goals and of course, the overall goal of being able to pay for the news and information you hear every day. You put the public in public radio.
If you missed the on-air fundraising campaign, you can still donate online. Thanks from all of us at WRVO Public Media.
