I am counting on you tonight. WPRB is counting on you as well.

This the WPRB Membership Drive, the one week a year where we raise money for the station’s day-to-day operations. The drive runs from now through October 14. My only drive show for the year is this evening from 7-10 pm ET.

This evening’s program is titled “Quintessential WPRB” and will feature a 25+ year retrospective of the most-requested, most-wonderfully overplayed and thoroughly, uniquely WPRB songs I could recall.

Imagine a world without WPRB.

Heck, imagine a Christmas without WPRB.

That’s what the station is facing without the continued financial support of members like you.

Think back about all WPRB has given you, not just on Wednesday nights, not just for 24 hours during the holidays.

As a listener who has discovered music and won countless tickets through WPRB, as a member of a band who is played only on our airwaves or as part of a like-minded organization that has benefitted from 103.3 fm in some similar fashion, I hope you will give back.

If you appreciate the incredible freeform programming that WPRB currently provides and has provided free of charge for decades, this is the time to give.

If you respect the work that WPRB’s volunteer staff puts in to create challenging, exciting and creative radio, this is the time to give.

All pledges are tax-deductable, you can donate via check or credit card and you can get a wide range of “thank you” items in return for supporting WPRB. You can even pay your donation off in installments.

I hope some of you will consider making a $240 pledge and dividing it by 12 months. You’ll be giving more but this plan won’t hit your pocketbook as severely all at once.

In addition to the station swag available starting at the $15 pledge level I’ve arranged “thank you” prize packs from favorite labels including 12XU and Dark Entires. Donate $45 or more to be eligible to win. 3-4 amazing records in each bundle.

For the first time ever the station has set a public drive goal – $40,000.

For Clean Yr Room and my program to hit our goal of combining for at least $5,000 of this mark WE NEED TO RAISE THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS TONIGHT.

You’ve been so generous in the past and I know you will be there for WPRB this evening. Make sure to give tonight between between 7:00-10:00 pm ET. Every bit helps. Both myself and my co-host Julia Factorial can’t wait to read your name on-air.

Thank you so much in advance.
