WQED fm89.3 begins its end of fiscal year membership campaign on Tuesday, July 29. Your pledge in any amount will support the great classical music programming you hear today on WQED fm89.3. But it also means we can begin a new fiscal year in the black and ready to provide more classical music tomorrow and all throughout next fiscal year! And when you help make WQED reach its end of fiscal year goal, you have ten chances to win TEN great prizes!
