It’s CHIRP Radio’s fundraiser, and I’m here to ask for your support! You know that the Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP) is a volunteer-driven, listener-funded, commercial-free station, and we rely on friends and listeners to keep us on the air. Please consider donating $15, $20 (or more) to community radio.
I've been a DJ here since 2019, and it's my favorite time of the week. I get to share music I love and serve the Chicagoland-and-beyond community. Annnnd, we're commercial free! We rely on the generosity of friends, family, and listeners to do what we do!
My personal fundraising goal is $500. CHIRP relies on direct donations and (usually) special events revenue for the majority of our budget, and I'm trying to do my part.
And bonus: If you donate NOW, I’ll play the cool cover song of your choice (or I’ll pick one for you) on an upcoming show and give you a big shout-out on the air.
Thank you!
Kristi/K-Tel
