Kilo Wattson writesWhat CHIRP Means to Me: Micha Ward

When I contemplate the impact that CHIRP has had on my life and the lives of others, the word “community” is the one that lingers longest. This is truly a community and everyone is an equal party to its success. Listener, donor, volunteer, music fan, activist… all have a voice in shaping CHIRP to fit the needs of our friends and neighbors. Whether it is as simple as band you’ve never heard or as complex as a cause you should know about, CHIRP is here to serve the people of Chicago. On a personal level, this collective of people, CHIRP volunteers and our listeners and supporters, has made Chicago my adopted home and one that will always be dear to me. I could not imagine Chicago without CHIRP or CHIRP without Chicago. Community.

Today is the final day of CHIRP's spring fundraising drive. Please join me in making sure we hit our $15,000 with a gift at any level. You are a crucial part of the CHIRP community. Thank you so much for your support.
