Because of the success of the most recent One Day Drive, we are looking closely at how WYPR has conducted pledge drives in the past and considering new ways to shorten future campaigns. This allows you to continue to enjoy the great programming on WYPR while we raise the funds vital to the station's success. Below is a review of the last 15 months of On-Air fundraising campaigns: *October 2008 - WYPR ran a "Shorten the Drive" campaign in our direct mail and email pieces as well as on WYPR.org. Thanks to member support, we were able to shorten the October drive by one day. That is a total of 24 hours of uninterrupted programming that you love such as The Diane Rehm Show and Morning Edition. *April 2009 - WYPR brought back the ever popular "On-line Auction." This "fun" fundraiser allowed us to raise over $50,000 with no programming interruption. *May 2009 - WYPR's first ever "One Day Drive" was a great success! With a membership campaign that's on-air portion started and ended on May 21st, we raised over $156,000 for the month of May. WYPR is committed to continue looking at new fundraising options and ways to keep it off the air as much as possible---but to succeed we need your help. Please take a moment a visit our pledge page on WYPR.org. Your $20.00 pledge today will allow us to continue great local programming such as Midday with  Anthony Brandon PS: Please pass this site onto all of your public radio listening friends. Just imagine what could be done if everyone who listened just gave $20. Thank You! |
