So this time of the year we are doing our yearly fundraiser lasting from Feb 8-17th. Therefore, this week I tried my hand at raising some good support for WCBN. Fundraising is particularly important this year, because we are officially financially independent from U of M. We no longer receive any stipends or funding. That means your calls are even more important than ever, CBN completely funded by our listenership alone. The university still gives us electricity, heat, and a pad to set up shop; but we still need money for equipment upkeep and maybe even to replace our dj headphones that only work in one ear.
For my fundraising show, I decided to take a journey through the bands that particularly have influenced me. Bands that opened my ears and blew my mind, influencing me as a music enthusiast and musician; bands that changed my perspective; and were just fun and formative as a teen to where I am now: end of college. To do this, I showcased bands in 10-15 minute segments. And I didn’t do too bad fundraising either! I raised about $200, not too bad for a newer dj, first semester off the red eye. So thank you to all who in to pledge their support for WCBN and keep us alive.
