FM-Phasis 2011 - 20 Years Between Your Ears

Hello everyone!! We are depending on you, our fabulous listeners, to make pledges to this year's FM-Phasis campaign in the name of our show (Monday Green Eggs and Ham 6-8 Edition with Camille and Janelle). Below you will find some background information on FM-Phasis, a list of prizes you will be eligible for, and instructions on how to make your pledge.

What is FM-Phasis and why should you make a pledge?

FM-Phasis is the Community Radio Society of Saskatoon's annual two-week on-air fundraising campaign. This year it commences Saturday September 17th and runs until Friday September 30th. We (Camille and Janelle) will be hosting one show during this time (Monday September 19th). Our show's goal is to raise at least $4 per minute of on-air time during FM-Phasis, which totals $480! There is no donation too big or small - every donation is appreciated!

FM-Phasis is essential to CFCR's existence, as it accounts for approximately a quarter of CFCR's annual operating budget, raising approximately $60,000 per year. The funds raised during past FM-Phasis campaigns have been directed toward continued improvements and upgrades for the station, including: moving to a new and improved location, new studio equipment, production studio renovations, a 1480-watt transmitter, security system, and webcasting.

This year's campaign theme is "Community Radio - 20 Years Between Your Ears," and the goal is $70,000. If you love music and appreciate the work of the volunteer hosts at CFCR (Voted Saskatoon’s Best Radio Station by Readers of Planet S EVERY YEAR the survey has been done), please support us by donating to this campaign! All donations are sincerely appreciated!!

How to Make a Pledge

If you want to make a pledge from 6-8 AM on Monday September 19th, please phone us in the studio at 242-5002. If it is after 8 AM you can phone the CFCR offices at 664-6678. When you phone in, please make sure you dedicate your pledge to our show (Monday Green Eggs and Ham 6-8 edition with Camille and Janelle) because we track pledges per show as part of a friendly competition between hosts! We also have pledge sheets with us when we’re not at the studio, so you can submit pledges directly to us at any time! You can pay through cash, cheque, or credit card. This year you can also pledge online by visiting http://www.cfcr.ca/. If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an email at mondaygreeneggsandham@gmail.com.
