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 commenced on Saturday September 15th and runs until Friday September 28th. 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 "Tune In, Turn Up" 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
To make a pledge 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/ and paying through PayPal. If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an email at mondaygreeneggsandham@gmail.com. If you want to stop in at the station, they also accept debit.
