Fall Member Drive Highlights: Photo Slideshow | Thank Yous

Thank You!

Our 2009 Fall Membership Drive was a smashing success, and we'd like to thank more than 1,500 new and renewing members who pledged to help 'OZ keep Guarding the Groove. Plenty of them even wrote in to tell us why WWOZ matters to them.

We beat our membership goal and raised well over $200,000 with the help of our show hosts, volunteers, in-studio performers, staff, and food donors. We couldn't have done it without each one of you!

Check out our slide show of Drive highlights.

Missed the drive but still want to support 'OZ? Pledge now!


From the bottoms of our music-filled hearts, a huge WWOZ thank you goes to:
