Radiothon 2008
March 7 - 16
Building Community

These are exciting yet scary times. A major election and the Summer Olympics will take place in 2008. Cheange is on the way. The country is more restless now than it has been in a long time.

In the middle of all of this, it's always nice to have a place to turn to for comfort. WVUD is one of those places. In 2008, WVUD will celebrate 40 years of service. The station was founded as WHEN on October 21, 1968. The series of call letters include: WHEN, WDRB, WXDR, and WVUD. Throughout that time we have depended upon your support.

WVUD's unique nature, allows us to make good use of your contributions. Because we are operated by University of Delaware students and community volunteers, we don't have to worry about salaries. Your contributions go directly toward improving the station. Past contributions have allowed us to upgrade our studios and equipment to serve you better. Additionally, last year's Radiothon contributions allowed us to file applications for a new station in Georgetown, Delaware and explore ways to improve our signal broadcast from Newark. It may be years before we see the results of either but your contributions allow us to explore the possibilities.

Your continued support is essential to the growth of this radio station. It also allows WVUD to continue to provide cultural forms of music that are disappearing from the airwaves and to serve as a training ground for young broadcasters. By mailing in your contribution or pledging online, you allow us to concentrate on attracting new supporters during our on-air pledge drive March 7-16, 2008.

If you would like to claim a premium* (our way of saying thank you) for your contribution, please indicate which premium you are claiming on the form. Special premiums are announced on the air during Radiothon. You'll need to call us during the pledge drive at 302-831-2701 to claim special premiums.

*Premiums match specific contribution levels.
