Today is the last day of our Spring Fund Drive — donate now to support BPR.

WCQS Member Challenge!

The WCQS Spring Membership Drive is coming up quickly and we're hoping we can count on you! When the drive begins on March 19th, we’ll be striving to reach an important goal in a relatively short period of time. Your support today will become part of a collective challenge grant for the WCQS Member Challenge - to encourage and match donations during the drive.

You've heard us say it before - just one out of every ten WCQS listeners helps pay for the service every year. We're hoping that the WCQS Member Challenge will encourage more listeners to support the programming, just as you already choose to do. Right now you can help improve that ratio by pledging your support to the WCQS Member Challenge.

We have found that Challenges are the best possible way to encourage non-supporters to become members, and past-members to return. Make a sound investment in WCQS and in your fellow listeners today. Every dollar raised through challenge grants is a dollar we will not have to raise on-air. Every dollar pledged to the Member Challenge will be used to match gifts during the upcoming drive. Your gift of $100 means $200 for WCQS!

Your pledge todaywill motivate other listeners to join you in support of the programming we all value on WCQS. Your pledge today will ensure that WCQS will be continue to be a vital resource for Western North Carolina tomorrow. 

Thank you for choosing to listen to WCQS and for choosing to support it. And thank you for encouraging other listeners to do the same, with your pledge to the WCQS Member Challenge right now.
