KYRS Fall On-Air Fund Drive Ends Thursday!

It’s hard to believe, but Bart Mihailovich and I have been doing our weekly KYRS radio show for three years now. We've had a wonderful time and we look forward to many more years to come!

As I’m sure you’ve heard, KYRS is trying to raise $20,000 by September 20th. The semi-annual fund drives cover the operating expenses at KYRS and without them, we simply could not continue to be the only volunteer powered, non-commercial, listener-supported, community radio station in the Spokane area. Now that we are at full power thanks to supporters, more than 300,000 people hear programming that supports diverse communities and un-served and underserved groups. People who have never heard shows that reflect values of peace, social, economic and environmental justice, human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, freedom of expression and social change have access to our signal.

Remember, when you donate, you can pay overtime. Whether you’re a loyal listener or not, there is something about KYRS and community radio that effects you – yes, even those of you far away from Spokane. During the Fund Drive, programmers ask fr your financial support – but this isn’t just about supporting the operations of the radio station - this is supporting diversity in the community, this is supporting sustainability in Spokane, and this is supporting a free, independent voice here and everywhere.

For only $35 you can become a KYRS member. Your gift is tax deductible and you will be making an investment into our community. We encourage you to give whatever you can as every little bit helps.

For a $50 donation, you can become a KYRS member or renew your membership, and be one of the very first to get the newly recorded KYRS CD featuring music from excellent local artists such as Whiskey Dick Mountain, Flying Spiders, Terrible Buttons, Cathedral Pearls, Jaeda, Floating Crowbar, Silver Treason and more! At the $100 level you get the cool new KYRS T-shirt.  

Please visit this site HERE and consider donating today.

If you do decide to support us, support KYRS, and support community radio, please mark in the comments section of “check out” that you’re donating for the Down To Earth show or call 509-747-3807 and tell them Down To Earth sent you!
