Support WBHM

Dear Friend,

Spring Fundraiser 2008, our on-air membership campaign, is scheduled for April 2nd -- 11th. While raising funds we need to operate the station is important, it is also crucial that we attract new members during our drives. Most WBHM members renew their support from year to year, however a number of members aren’t able to do so, for a variety reasons. To simply maintain our strong membership base we need to recruit at least 1,200 new members each year, and to grow it we need to recruit even more.

WBHM needs more listeners like you who will share the cost of providing the finest classical music, daily coverage of local and state news, and unparalleled NPR programs like Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Car Talk,as well as WBHM's signature arts and culture program, Tapestry.

Keeping WBHM's challenge in mind, I ask you to make a special, tax-deductible contribution to our Member Challenge Pool.

Your generous gift of $25, $40, $120 or the amount that's right for you will be combined with those of fellow members and used as leverage during the on-air membership campaign to challenge those who have never made a gift to WBHM to join.

Over the past months, you have done your part to ensure the continued, uninterrupted broadcast of the programs you've come to expect from WBHM. Thank you for that committed support. Now, I hope we can count on you to help us meet this membership goal in the days and weeks ahead. I ask that you be as generous as you can to help us grow our membership base to a level appropriate to the size of our listening audience.

Member contributions are the largest and most important source of income for WBHM. Thank you again for your ongoing membership support. And a special thank you in advance for helping us recruit new members during our Spring on-air membership campaign.

Sincerely,
Hunter Bell
Assistant Development Director -- Membership
