We have had a fantastic week of fundraising. We ended the official drive at $294,844, which beats our record by a few dollars. We would love to reach $300,000 by the end of the weekend. So, if you didn't get an opportunity to donate this week, it is not too late! Click here to donate now. We still have some great thank-you gifts available. Your generosity during our Fall Pledge Drive reminds us just how powerful this community is. Thanks to you, WNCW will keep informing, inspiring, and entertaining listeners across our region with our eclectic mix of music and programming. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
