KUCB Donors Rock!

Thursday, October 10 2013

KUCB's annual One Day Radio Pledge Drive hit the airwaves on Friday, October 4 from 7 AM till midnight.  Staff, Board members and volunteers DJ'ed throughout the day with different themes of music playing each hour while community members were invited to come down to the studio, take a tour, request a favorite song and make a pledge to support community radio in Unalaska.

Thanks to our many donors, we raised $23,455, which is slightly above last year's total.  We are also very pleased that the number of members increased 28% over last year!  We appreciate our loyal long-time members and first time members alike.  We are also grateful to our small business members who continue to support us year after year.  Without all of our donors, we could not continue to bring programs and services to Unalaska and beyond.

Special thanks to Laurie Smith, General Manager of the Grand Aleutian Hotel/UniSea Hospitality, who generously matched all UniSea employee pledges again this year.  Because of this match, we brought in an extra $2980!

For each $25 pledged, members received one entry into our drawing for a round trip system-wide Alaska Airlines plane ticket.  Congratulations to Patrick Cyr, who won the ticket! And thanks to Alaska Airlines for supporting us with donated ticket vouchers each year.

Even though the pledge drive is over, it's not too late to become a member!  Give us a call at 581-1888 or pledge securely on our website at www.kucb.org; just click on "donate" to use PayPal.  We have cool new bumper stickers for all members and great new hoodies for those pledging at $125 or above.
