While regular topics will come later tonight, I figured funding drive deserved it’s own post.
CKCU is in the midst of its annual funding drive, where over 16 days we raise 1/3 of the station’s operating budget via donations from individual listeners. This year’s goal is $108,000, as of this posting they had raised $22,000 and change.
The station does lots of important work in the community- offering the broadest range of programming, the widest and best selection of music, and top-notch spoken word programming (to which I contribute through the Tuesday Special Blend.) So, if you enjoy CKCU (or even if you just enjoy the podcast variant of Adam’s and my show), please consider making a donation - every little bit helps, and every dollar goes directly to keeping CKCU on for another year.
We’ll have a series of giveaways for those that call and contribute during the show tomorrow, but as an added incentive for every $50 raised during our program, Adam will run up 1 level of stairs at Dunton Tower while discussing some finer point of the topic of the day. I was the lucky bastard last year, and Padraic Ryan suffered the year before. You can here Padraic’s ascent here. So, even if you don’t listen to CKCU much, if you want to help make Adam’s lungs explode, donate a little bit.
Here’s how to donate:
Email me! hourtwo@gmail.com. I can take pledges, and then the station will send you an envelope to send a cheque.
Phone! 520-CKCU between 7 and 8 this tuesday (Tomorrow!) or next (next Tuesday!), 520-3920 or 877-520-3920 between 8 and 9am.
Internets! Go to ckcufm.com and click on the donate button. No need to talk to people! Be sure to list “Tuesday Special Blend” as the show you are supporting.
Sleep in tomorrow? No worries- just pledge online and/or drop me a note, and I’ll be sure that your pledge is counted against the show.
