TGIF Drive & happy Friday "Drivers"!
Hitting the waves for the second of three episodes dedicated to raising $5000 on behalf of “Friday Drive” to contribute to CKCU’s 46th annual Funding Drive and this year’s ultimate goal of $175,000.
Can’t thank all the people who’ve already made their voices heard and contributed so far bringing the Friday Drive’s total to almost $1000 closer to reaching the show’s ultimate goal.
Hoping to hear from all of you regular and irregular listeners and supporters of the show in the next couple of hours!
