WEMU

WEMU extends a special thank you to the following companies who were generous enough to donate their products for our volunteers during the 2013 Spring Pledge Drive.

As the successful spring pledge drive ends  we hope you will continue to enjoy the commercial-free programming on WEMU, especially knowing you did your part to make it happen.

We especially want to thank the phone volunteers who helped make  this $185,000 pledge drive a success.  We would also like to thank the various businesses who supported our volunteers and staff during the Spring Pledge Drive.

WEMU welcomes volunteers for the Spring Pledge 

April 4th-11th

 WEMU's  Spring Pledge Drive is scheduled to begin April  4th, and we hope you'll help us take pledges in the studio. Volunteering  your time during an on-air fundraiser is a wonderful opportunity to support WEMU, and the experience is always fun!

Please plan on a two hour shift. This allows for smooth transitions each hour as newly arrived volunteers come up to speed.

We appreciate help from groups and individuals.

Grab your sweetheart and join us Saturday, February 16, as the staff of 89.1 take over the Northside Grill for “the love of WEMU.”

Meet your favorite on-air personalities as we show you to your table, pour your coffee, and collect all the tips for the day (don’t worry though — we’ll leave the cooking to the Northside).

WEMU's fall on-air pledge drive concluded at 7pm Thursday, October 18, with a record total of just under $182,000 pledged by WEMU listeners.

Thank you so much!  Your generosity keeps jazz, news, and blues going strong at 89.1.    We couldn't do this without you, and we are very grateful.

While the pledge drive total was indeed a record for WEMU, it was still far short of our $200,000 goal.  WEMU's management is already hard at work to find ways to make up this shortfall while maintaining the programming you enjoy.
