Thanks to our supporters for a successful fall turned winter pledge drive. When it really comes down to it, there are literally a few hundred people whose donations ensure free form community radio has a home at WESU. On behalf of the thousands of listeners who listen to WESU regularly, but haven’t yet seen the light, and all of the WESU staff, thanks for having our back with a donation this fall. Your support sustains the community service that WESU provides. As more people join in and support our work, we can increase the value and impact of the work we do. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
