Spring is a time to get things started again. It’s a time of renewal and growth, not just for the trees and animals, but us humans as we emerge from our caves and bask in the sunshine. Time to refresh, reconnect, and keep being awesome.
Here at CHIRP Radio, our two part-timers and 200+ volunteers have been as busy as ever. CHIRP Radio is a solid and still-growing presence in the Chicago media landscape. And soon we will be transmitting over the airwaves as we build a broadcast tower and set up our signal on 107.1 FM later this year.
Surfing up and down the dial, it may seem like corporate media conglomerates have won the battle for control of the airwaves, especially in big cities. But look closer, and you’ll see stations like CHIRP Radio are keeping the faith with the independent spirit that saved music from the tentacles of Big Business. We’re helping to keep radio local, eclectic, and personal, the way it was created and the way it’s meant to be.
For all of us, running this station is a labor of love. But along with that are operational matters to take care of. Therefore, it’s time for the CHIPR Radio Spring Fundraising Drive, a time when we ask you to help us sustain our efforts through your donations. Your tax deductible contribution will help us cover the costs that come with running a radio station, which include rent, utilities, and audio streaming.
This Spring’s drive starts Monday, March 16th and wraps up on Friday the 27th. We’ve set a goal of $15,000. There are some great gifts for folks who contribute at different levels. You can even become a Sustaining Member with your yearly, quarterly or monthly contributions.
Help us start off the year the right way. Give today! And THANK YOU for your support!
