A million dollars must be raised by September 30, 2009 in order to sustain your classical music station. We have raised $810,893 as of July 2, 2009. To stay on track in raising our one million dollar fiscal year goal, an additional $189,107 needs to be contributed by September 30, 2009. All gifts from individuals, whether made through a pledge during our on-air fundraising drive, a renewal through the mail, or online at wqed.org counts toward the goal. Listen to the QED Morning Show Fridays at 8:30 a.m. for Friday Financial Updates. Check here weekly to follow our progress in preserving a home on the radio for classical music in our community, accessible to all. Click here to make a contribution to help.
