Erin Van Ness writesWhat can $10 do?

You guys are smart. You know how a fundraising campaign works.

We let you know how much we have left to raise in our fall fundraiser ($8305). We remind you of all the cool things we do at CHIRP (Getting you through your workday with great independent music! Throwing a couple of cool record fairs every year! Giving you tons of chances to win tickets to the best shows in Chicago!). And we let you know about the challenges we face (a July flood that did $15,000 worth of damage to our facilities! Ever-growing streaming fees that cost us almost as much as rent!).

So you know we’re here today to ask you to throw some cash our way. But we know times are still challenging. That’s why we’re just asking for TEN BUCKS! I bet you have $10 right now! And you know you’re just going to spend it on some Starbuck’s or a few drinks at the bar or a fast food lunch that you shouldn’t have anyway. But if everyone reading this message were to take that ten bucks and give it to CHIRP at http://chirpradio.org/donatenow, we’d hit our $10,000 campaign goal today!

We love you so much, CHIRP fans. Don’t make us beg. Go to http://chirpradio.org/donatenow and show your support today. We act all casual about it, but we really, really appreciate it. You guys make this whole thing possible. We might even say you rock. OK, we’ll say it — You rock.
