Global A Go-Go presents:
WRIR’s Fall 2024 Fund Drive is now underway — we’re hard at work toward raising $45,000 by Saturday November 2nd to power Richmond Community Radio for another six months. It’s supporters like you who have made WRIR possible for the last 20 years, and now is the time that we ask you to donate what you can afford, and what this marvelous, successful experiment in community-built media is worth to you.
Global A Go-Go is here this week (Sunday October 27, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, and any old time at my podcast site) giving you some extra incentive to make that contribution. The first $500 donated during Global A Go-Go will be doubled because I will personally match your gift. Let’s raise $1,000 and more for Richmond Community Radio on this edition of Global A Go-Go!
The background music for your generosity will be a South African dance party: two hours of bubblegum, kwaito, Shangaan electro and gqom from the 1980s through today for your listening, and especially your dancing, pleasure. As it is every week, it’s all free to anyone who tunes in via radio or internet. But this week is special: it’s one of just two weeks out of the year where we ask you to donate what you can to keep WRIR powered up. Thank you for making Richmond Independent Radio’s first 20 years possible, and we’re counting on you once again in Fall 2024!
