We are well into October, and that means we’re about to kick off our annual Funding Drive! As we ramp up for that, here’s a quick overview of the incentive tiers from the station.
There are one-time donations ranging from $5-$250, and recurring donations ranging from $3/month-$25/month. You can find more information and donate here. (Check back for a list of show-specific donation incentives, coming soon!).
We’re hoping to raise $1,200 before October 20th, which is when the Funding Drive officially starts.
The exciting events you can expect from this year's drive:
Introduction to DJing for Gender Minorities
“Learn the basics to DJing and get some hands-on experience spinning tracks with this in-person workshop. Open to women or anyone who identifies as a gender minority. Instructors Lady Oracle and Sugarface Belfo will be bringing their consoles and equipment, and each participant will be given time to experiment with music on their own.
When: Saturday October 22nd, 11am-4pm
“Show off your smarts as CJLO teams up with the Monday night trivia held every week at Ye Olde Orchard, to present a special edition for CJLO's Funding Drive. Form teams with up to 6 people and compete to win cool prizes, including passes to RIDM and Eastern Bloc, as well as vouchers for Chef On Call and Nilufar, and merch bundles from local record labels!”
When: Monday October 24th, 8:30pm
“Throw on your hottest '60s garb and get ready to dance the night away to the very best tunes from Hitsville, USA! CJLO 1690AM will be spinning Motown classics from the Supremes, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and many many more!”
When: Friday October 28th, 11pm-3am
“Calling all vinyl nerds! Dig into some crates and discover some gems, both new and classic, at the CJLO Vinyl Fair! Come on down to MB 9 (JMSB building) of the downtown campus of Concordia University! We'll have vendors selling classic rock, soul, country, blues, and even some folks selling CDs (calling all CD Guys! Your time has come!)
When: Saturday October 29th, 12-5pm
On top of all these events, there’s also the option to show support with CJLO exclusive merch showcasing this year’s Funding Drive theme of “Livin’ for the City”. T-shirts, tote bags, power banks and stickers, along with a limited edition patch, will all be available. Of course, we still have our classic CJLO mugs and hoodies as well.
Funding Drive runs from October 20th-October 31st. Thank you for all your continued support that helps allow campus radio, and community thrive!
