Alternative Milestones Episode 117 – Putting the Fun in Fundraiser!
As always I want to thank all who have already donated to the 2026 WRIR Spring Fundraiser for their support! And as we approach the end of it, the final push toward the finish line is on! As an all-volunteer, independent, non-profit radio station we’re counting on your donations to enable us to do what we’re here for – to provide a channel for the ideas and the voices and the music that wouldn’t get heard if we were silent.
I’d love to get some new donors during my show today, and once again besides deep thanks the only thing I can give in return is music. So for anyone who donates during my show – if you have a song you’d like to hear all you have to do is give me a call in the studio at 804.649.9737. Any song – If I can find it and it’s safe to play, I’ll play it for you. It doesn’t have to be on-format or anything – if you wanna hear it the least I can do to say thank you is play it for you.
