WMKY needs $650 to meet a $2500 matching challenge. Now is the time to help WMKY during this fundraiser.

The only time this fall we're asking for listener support. Many public stations have fundraisers every other month, 6 or more times a year.

Every dollar supports local, live and original news, music and public affairs programming. Nearly 20 MSU students are currently working or volunteering at WMKY, learning career-building skills such as time management, writing, listening, leadership, team building and more.

Consider making a $25 or more gift today. The number of total members also help WMKY apply for grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Call 606-783-2001 or use the secure and simple online pledge and gift forms at http://www.wmky.org
