Happy Friday Drivers! Back at it with episode 3/3 and the final FDFDF (Friday Drive Funding Drive Freestyle) for this year’s CKCU’s annual funding drive ending this Sunday November 12th at 6 PM. Although we'll still be accepting donations past 6 PM Sunday this is your last chance to donate while the Drive is officially still on! Do it now! Looking to enlist your support for the radio station I’ve been volunteering at since 1991, producing various programs over the years. Currently offering “The Friday Drive”, two hours of grooves to unwind you from your workweek and wind you up for your weekend every Friday since September 2005. CKCU is trying to raise $165 000 in this year’s campaign which is one third of the stations annual budget to keep the station operating. You can donate directly to your favourite show, hopefully, the Friday Drive Campaign by clicking the donate button on the CKCU website which takes you to the “Canada Helps” site or use the link in the “Friday Drive” interactive page which I’ve provided in the show description. https://www.canadahelps.org/me/64REJEQf I’ve got a growing list of donors to thank profusely for their very generous donations and apologies for not being able to thank all the last minute donations that came in last week as I ran out of time but will be getting right into it shortly. Looking at my list on my Canada Helps page we’re sitting at 52 / 200 donors goal bringing the grand total of $3476.69 of my $5000 goal for this year’s Friday Drive! But still accepting donations until we reach the station's overall goal, so don't be shy. Better late than never. Here we go with the list of amazing and very generous donors who have made the pledge so far!
