CJLO's 2nd Annual FUNdrive

February 8 2012 // CJLO

On April 5th, CJLO 1690 AM will be kicking off our second annual FUNdrive and hosting events, both on and off the Concordia campuses, to raise money and celebrate our fifteenth anniversary! Funding Drives are the second main source of funding for campus/community radio stations like CJLO, so we turn to you, our devoted listeners, to help keep us functioning and on the air. 

At its core, fundraising is about relationships. It's give and take, with both parties reaping the rewards of a healthy union. Building on last year's efforts, our Funding and Promotions Coordinator, Sarah Robsinson, sought to strengthen our existing relationships and create new partnerships that will last as long as we do.

This year, we are thrilled to offer our generous donors new pledge prizes, including a compilation of live sessions recorded in our studios. Our grand prizes include free travel vouchers on VIA Rail, free entrance to Blue Skies Turn Black shows, Beer for a Year from McAuslan Breweries, plus festival passes and a handful of other surprises. Trust us, you wanna get in on this draw!

CJLO has grown so much since its inception, accomplishing more in fifteen years than many stations achieve in decades. We've won awards and accolades, and earned the respect of the media outside the campus/community realm. With the money raised this year, CJLO will be able to continue its evolution  by sending programmers to conferences and workshops, and bring new skills home. We will continue to champion our local scene, and lend a hand to the little guy. Many people know CJLO as the little radio station that could. We know that we are the little station that does. Thank you!
