Much of my summer was spent trying to put this event together. Now it is happening! 5% of all Whole Foods Princeton (3495 US Route 1 South) sales on Tues. 9/22 go to WPRB! Mark your calendar and buy your groceries then! Spread the word! – JS
On September 22, 2009, Whole Foods Market Princeton will donate 5% of their daily sales to WPRB 103.3 FM, as part of their ongoing “Community 5% Giving Days” program.
Four times a year, each Whole Foods Market store sets aside a day on which 5% of the day’s net sales is contributed to a local 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Customers help support the selected organizations just by shopping on these 5% Days.
“WPRB is thrilled to be able to partner with such a respected organization as Whole Foods and have the chance to further promote ourselves in the community,” says DJ Jon Solomon (Wednesdays, 7-10 p.m.), I hope listeners will plan to buy their groceries on the 22nd, knowing they will be supporting the station as they stock their pantry.”
During WPRB’s “5% Day” there will be a booth where store visitors can learn more about the station, and meet volunteers who make up this incredibly unique community supported radio station.
