Erin Van Ness writesHelp CHIRP Finish Strongly in 2011!

Well, kids, it’s official. The first of December brings us into the last month of the year. Here at CHIRP, 2011 has given us our ups…and then more ups! You voted, and The Chicago Reader awarded us “Best Overall Radio Station” in Chicago. Shortly after, Chicago Magazine also named us Best Web Radio Station. We have an Android app in beta testing as we speak, and our listenership is higher than ever (and continues to grow).

Yep, 2011 has been great for CHIRP, well, with the exception of the station flooding back in July that caused $15,000 of damage to the station. But thanks to the support of generous members, we’re recovering, and that instance aside, we’ve made incredible progress and have no intention of slowing down in 2012.

Help us to finish 2011 strongly and ensure that 2012 is even better! Just visit chirpradio.org/donatenow and become a member of CHIRP Radio today. Your tax-deductible contribution will help us keep up the pace, so that we can continue to provide you with the best in local, independent, community radio into 2012 and beyond.

Thank you as always for your support!
