No fooling, the first day of our Spring Fund Drive is April 1st. As a public radio station, we depend on listener support for a major portion of our funding.
You can start the fund drive off early, by donating online, and if you'd like your gift counted toward your favorite show (or shows), just note it in the comments section. Surprise your favorite show hosts by getting them closer to their goal before our "On-Air" fund drive even starts.
Beginning on April 1st, we'll have a great variety of "Thank You" gifts to choose from, when you make your pledge (online or by calling 321-674-8950), or you can choose to have the total amount go towards programming. Our "Thank You" gifts include gift certificates for restaurants, stores and services, theatre & concert tickets, T-shirts, umbrellas, hats, CDs and more.
Remember, an additional way to help us reach our goal is by spreading the word about our fund drive on facebook and twitter, and encouraging others to support their local public radio station, WFIT 89.5 FM. For Questions about memberships please contact Jane Clary at claryt@fit.edu or 321-674-8140. We greatly appreciate our listeners, and thank you so much for all your support.
